When swimming backstroke my hips and legs sink so how can I stop this

Sink hips and legs in backstroke is a common problem and usually caused by incorrect body line, poor core stability, incorrect leg and hip position.

To fix this, here are some tips:

  1. Keep your head in a neutral position, looking straight behind you.
  2. Engage your core muscles to keep your body straight and prevent your hips from dropping.
  3. Keep your legs together and straight, and point your toes.
  4. Use a flutter kick to propel yourself through the water, keeping your legs close to the surface.

It's also important to practice regularly to improve your technique. With time and practice, you'll be able to swim backstroke with proper body position and prevent your hips and legs from sinking.
