Lobsters can swim both forward and backwards. They swim backwards when they are facing their prey. If the lobster were to turn around and swim away they would be vulnerable to their prey. So by keeping their claws out and facing their prey they can defend themselves.
Shrimp do not have fins to move in the water so they pull in their abdomen toward their body quickly. This motion propels them through the water but because of their configuration it means they are moving backwards.
The information provided above appears to be accurate; for your information, however, the PCH answer to the question "How does a brine shrimp swim?" is Upside down.
The articulation of their legs makes a sidelong gait more efficient. However some crabs can walk forwards and or backwards (eg. the Raninidae, some spider crabs and some Australian mud crabs).
Its a reflex mechanism when they feel threatened to escape rapidly. It is completely automatic and they cannot control it.

12. Can emus walk backwards?
It is believed that emus cannot walk backwards, as no evidence exists to the contrary. That is why, together with the kangaroo (which also cannot walk backwards), the emu is on the Australian coat-of-arms, symbolising progression forwards. Whether or not emus can or cannot walk backwards has never been definitively proven, as the phenomenon of them walking backwards has been neither observed nor recorded. It is believed that the joints in their knees make it impossible for them to walk backwards.
