Continuing the process of reducing the amount of time between the balanced positions, 3-Count Backstroke is very close to full stroke backstroke.

The things to keep in mind as you start to pick up the pace are:
Keep the head steady with the eyes looking up.
Make sure you initiate the recovery of the trailing hand before you start the pull with the lead hand.

Be careful that when you start to spend less time rotated to your side, that you do continue to rotate to your side.  It’s natural that when the rate increases, the rotation decreases.  However, when we start to focus more on the pulling action, you’ll learn that rotation becomes very important in getting you to the pull you need.
