Does this feet first argument hold water? I walk feet first but I'm not going backwards.

The reason it is called Backstroke is because you are lying on your back when you are doing it. Your head is leading the way and the body follows. You are still swimming forward, just doing it on your back.

I would say yes, to swim backwards you would have to go feet first .

Are you going forward when your walking backwards?
Same thing. It's the right direction that counts.
