Swimmers performing the backstroke use several techniques to determine the location of the pool's end:
Wall Markers: Many pools have visual markers on the walls or lane lines that indicate how far they are from the end. Swimmers often memorize the distance to these markers during practice.
Tactile Cues: As swimmers approach the wall, they can feel the water resistance change. When they are close to the wall, they may notice an increase in drag, which can signal that they need to prepare for a turn or finish.
Count Strokes: Experienced swimmers often have a sense of how many strokes it takes to reach the wall from certain points in the pool. They can use this knowledge to time their approach.
Visual Cues: While backstroke is performed on the back, swimmers can still glance at the ceiling or lights above the pool to gauge their position relative to the end.
Coaching and Practice: Regular training helps swimmers develop a sense of distance and timing, allowing them to become adept at judging when to prepare for the wall.
By combining these techniques, swimmers can effectively navigate the pool while performing backstroke.
What else can I help you with?
How do you know if a swimmer is close to the end if he is swimming backstroke?
if there is a backstroke flag ( a flag hung above the surface of the water, near the pool end), then he/she would know if he/she is close to the end of the pool. if you swam past the backstroke flag, then of course, that would mean that you are close to the end of the pool. ^_^ Most swimmers don't just guess when the end of the pool is getting close. They count how many strokes it will take them to get to the wall. When they still have more lengths left, they subtract one stroke from their number and turn on their stomach and flip over.
