In neighborhood pools, I can understand swimming side stroke and butterfly that you are able to see where you are going. Just wondering how you swim backstroke and not wind up slamming into the end of the pool or bumping into anyone. I would really like to know how to not bang into the end of the pool without the visual aid of the flags over head or the lane dividers which have a change of color as you get to the end of the pool. As for not hitting anyone in the pool while lying on your back, I'm mystified how you do that!
Thanks.
