    At 62, after years of "touch and turn" I finally decided to learn flip turn.
    I watched several tutorials but yours is the best by a long stretch.
    I found it specially useful the drill with the two kickboards .
    With some practice (and lots of water in the nose :-) ) I finally can flip turn during a whole 2500 mts training,"
    Thanks a million!

      Glad we could help! Keep up the hard work!

    I like that you demonstrated with the two kickboards. That provided a clearer visual of hand positioning during the turn. I have not seen others use that and it is helpful. Nice job!

  • @1goldenarm
    @1goldenarm Před rokem +74

    THANK YOU for this!! I have watched dozens of videos on the subject, but yours was the first one to explain what to do with the hands during the turn! I have spent a lot of time trying to learn the flip but your advice made it happen. Thank you again!

    • @myswimpro
      @myswimpro  Před rokem +6

      So glad that helped! It can be tricky to master! Keep up the hard work :)

  • @Bo-rt5sg
    @Bo-rt5sg Před rokem +288

    In order to avoid water getting into the nostrils, it is necessary to blow out during the flip turn. But that empties your lungs, forcing to take breath immediately after the turn. What is a solution?

    • @Korxion
      @Korxion Před rokem +63

      I try to only blow out slightly has that will loose less air. also you can practice increasing lung capacity has that will help with taking a breath off the wall. it takes some time and i struggled breathing off the wall a lot. for the most part you just need o keep training in order to get passed it

    • @Kbuckzztoolocked
      @Kbuckzztoolocked Před rokem +55

      Just hum when you going into the wall/ turn

    • @eobaga
      @eobaga Před rokem +25

      Thanks for asking this - I do the same thing! She's actually suggesting that you take at least two strokes after the turn before breathing in, which I'm assuming is after the dolphin kick phase. Seems very challenging to master and I'd be keen to hear how I can work on it.

    • @sylvainwillaume636

      You just need to exhale through the nose at the same time that you do your flip.
      Then, you should not have any problem anymore.

      flipping too close can hurt a bit if you are a quick flipper by and you slam into the top if the gutter, until you get used to your timing.

    Flip turns are momentum driven. As you accelerate into the wall you transfer your linear momentum into angular momentum around an axis parallel to the wall. If done right the most efficient version of the flip turn doesn't include any hand movement to initiate the turn. You just keep your hands pointed in the opposite direction and immediately move to streamline as you are rotating over the axis.

    In my free style backturn, I'm turning from crawl to backstroke, then turning at the surface. It allows me to breath much more. So to break the surface very far, even on long distances (400, 800, 1500). I noticed Sun Yang breathed much, but didn't break the surface very far. It is also good for your arms, because of two back strokes. One under the surface, the second above. Just like if you woke up in a large and good bed ! I did 25 minutes at fifty years, not especially fit. The last + IS that it is purest, smoothiest turn. So easy ! Sensual: Just like if you dived into the Sky ! You show it well in this post. There are several ways, with one common beginning. Congratulations. I like to innovate, focusing on " not to be disqualified". And to write down about swimming ! I like a New distance : la poursuite ( in french)... You don't know when it ends, because you have to catch your opponent. I learned it all at Tulle, France.
