backstroked
Swam facing up
Backstroked is the past tense of backstroke, meaning to swim using the backstroke—a style where you lie on your back and move arms alternately overhead while flutter-kicking.
The word appears both for the swimming motion and figuratively for any backward movement: She backstroked across the pool, He backstroked away from the argument.
