Backstroke is the best style for those who are concerned about spinal problems. Most orthopaedists advise people with scoliosis, osteochondrosis and other spinal conditions to swim this style. This style will also appeal to those who, for one reason or another, do not like to put their face in the water.

Highlights
Backstroke is the easiest style of swimming in terms of technique. You only need to feel confident enough in the water to relax in the backstroke position. Although you can swim backstroke quite fast (faster than breaststroke), you should not be in a hurry. It is very important to learn the correct technique.
