.Remember the purpose of the left knee flexing in the backstroke is to keep the head stable or centered.

In TGM, the sixth edition, it states in,
"2-0 The Three Basic Essentials are: 1. A stationary Head"
but then in the same text under the
12-1-0 and 12-2-0 for the basic stroke patterns it reccommends Right Anchor for both stroke patterns swinging and hitting.

My Question with all this is why do you think Right Anchor is reccommended?? If it causes the player's head to move off center to the right as you posted above.

Soring through the Instructor's Textbook.
