Freestyle flip turn in 3 steps

- It is possible to learn the flip turn in one day, and Marianna is the proof. She had never done a flip turn before and after just one hour of practice, now she can. Just like her you just need patience, practice and maybe a nose clip.
As you probably know, the flip turn in freestyle helps you change directions quickly without having to slow down. This is a beginners guide on the fundamentals of a flip turn and we will go over more advanced tips on a future video.
We will do this flip turn tutorial in three steps.
*The first thing you need to know is that you need a good amount of air in your lungs to do the flip turn, for two reasons: you will blow out bubbles through your nose and you will push off the wall and move a few meters without breathing.
First step - Flip
So before going to the wall practice doing a flip turn in the middle of the pool. Take a good breath and pretend that you want to kiss your knees. So burry your head underwater while you bring your knees close to your chest. Remember that you need to blow bubbles through your nose while you are upside down or else water will enter your nose. You can also use a nose clip to learn the movement and that way you don’t have to worry about many things at once. Also to speed up the turn, use your arms to push you forward and then to push water down so you can speed up the turn. Do several front flips until you can do them in a straight line.
Now before your body flips completely stretch yourself into a tight streamline. You will end face up. do that a few times. No to finish the movement twist your body after you are stretched out in a streamline so you end face down. Do that a few times so your body learns the movement.
Step two - Landing.
The next thing you need to master is getting your feet to the wall in the correct position. The correct position is a few inches underwater in line with your body. If you push with your feet on the surface you will aim down and you will push downwards. If your feet are too deep you will aim up and you will push right up to the surface. So practice approaching the wall from the flags or a few steps behind and flip when you see the line where the floor meets the wall. Don’t push off yet. We are your practicing the landing.
Step three - Turn
Now that you have mastered the landing is time to move on to the turn. Since you will end facing up you need to turn face down again. This is what you need to do: push off in a streamline while you twist your torso slightly. This will put you in the right position to do freestyle again!

Thank you for showing someone who is actually LEARNING instead of just an already accomplished flip-turner!!! I learned more by watching her than i did in three other videos showing swimmers doing it smoothly! Good job, Mariana - you inspired me!
(I coach Masters) One of the most important steps in the flip turn I see novices neglect, and coaches neglect to mention, is throwing water up over the head. This accelerates the tumble and places the hands above the head, prepared for streamline. My coach, decades ago, referred to this move as "splashing cold water from a sink onto the face." It's difficult to describe but you can see the author do it here at 0:50 and again at 1:53. Rather, I see amateurs and even Masters level swimmers who started swimming as adults, put the arms out wide like airplane wings and twirl them in an effort to tumble at the wall. The author here does the maneuver well but never mentions that he is doing it in the video.
Thanks Coach.
I think he speaks to it at 1:09
this comment helped me learn the flip turn today, in just a few tries. thank you!
I describe it as doing a bicep curl while tucking your chin.
Holy crap, I was a competitive swimmer for 7 years and I have literally never heard anyone talk about this
Good luck guys, it took me almost 2 years to learn to flip turn properly, it takes a lot of courage and patience and endurance and effort, but trust me guys, keep working at it, it is so worth it :)))
I can alrdy feel the water shooting up my nose lol
I think you need to blow while flipping
Right 😂
Yeni Berry just blow bubbles with your nose, don’t worry tho that used to be me as a beginner no matter how hard I tried 😂
Haha,u can use nose clip honey,so the water will not enter in your nose
As you flip, blow out. When I learn my coach had me just stay at the wall and flip find threshold to blow out
I am really slow on my team. One of the slowest. This really helps me because I am one of the fastest on my team for freestyle. I use to miss the wall and not even be able to do a flipturn. Thank you this really helps.
I am literally the same way!
how could you be the best of your team without being able to do an actual flip

He used Poetic license
@@brightxnay5907 when did he say he was the best?
@@brightxnay5907 you need some reading comprehension

Waiting for this step-by-step tutorial for ages. I will practice this in the coming summer!. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I made it today! It took me around 30 minutes practicing to make a good one! Awesome 👍
Had never done a flip turn in my life, nailed it on my first attempt after watching this video. I still need to work on speeding up the turn but am getting there. You are a good teacher thank u so much for posting this
Wow, thank you so much for breaking it down into smaller movements! 🥳🥰
Thank you so much for this instructional video. It makes it so much easier to learn while watching others practice.
I need this since I got scolded by my coach
This is a great video. It helped a lot to see both the movements of the expert and of the beginner. And, as you say, I got the basics going in an hour of practice, starting from zero. Thanks a lot.
I love your channel. so useful for me. also the way you make videos ,music you choose for every video , even its time is so perfect and good.wish you the best !
Just watching this video reminds me how much I miss swimming everyday. I loved doing freestyle flips! So much fun.
Thank you! I absolutely love doing flip turns because it is so calming.
You are so amazing! I get so much from your videos! I am a beginning swimmer and need all the help I can get. Thank you!
You are Brilliant, Man!!!! Steps explained so clearly, thank you
Thank you for this! Ice perfected my free style but my turn wasn’t very experienced with this video I can now do it easily.
Best swimming technique channel on CZcams!
Thank you!
Very clear explanation. The steps make it easier to learn.
Thank you so much for this vídeo. I am 34 years old and had never swimmed in my life. It’s been full 6 months 3x a week and I just learned the flip turn in one day following these steps :D
I’ve tried this several times and it worked.nice tutorial
Thanks so much. I always have wanted to do a flip turn and now I can!🤗
Thank you very much! I am a beginner swimmer who learns from your videos, and today I did the flip turn corectly 🌹
Very, very good tutorial. I noticed the girl maybe learning it - well - over the session. This has given me a lot of confidence and given me a sense of the time it can take to learn; as I've been putting-off trying to accquire this skill.
The best swimming training channel ever ❤️❤️
One trick that is older than me, and dirt, is a small dolphin kick to help initiate the flip. Only video that mentioned it was by a trathlete trainer.... Of course when I told the lifeguards at my pool about that, most of them were like "you really never knew that????"
Great video 👍😊, I'm going to start practicing this right away. I love your videos. You've taught me alot. I really appreciate your visuals ✨️
In admiration!! Keep it up please! It's the way to go!!!
Atleast someone cares about the breathing parts, almost every flip turn video forgets about this essential thing. Thanks for mainly talking about this, helps a lot :) .
Great clarity to the incremental steps required to achieve this skill, well done and thanks
Will be practising this in next visit to the pool. Thanks for this helpful information. Great channel for swimming enthusiasts 👍
Great video, by far the hardest part for me still is getting the timing right and not blowing all of my air as I flip through. Thanks for posting.
Me too. I cracked my toes on the wall once..
Thank you for this tutorial. I had never done a filp turn before, too.
Really appreciate your techniques ❤️ because I could learn to swim in few weeks with your help
재밌게 보고 있습니다. 많이 배울수 있어 좋네요. 응원합니다.
the water in my nose whenever i did these was insane
Thanks. Realy Best video about turn flip.
Excellent teaching.
your vids are great. Thanks!
You are best. I never felt so encouraged to finally learn it. Next time im in the pool, i will learn it. Thank you so much for very detailed video and sharing that she learned that in 1 hour :D
Mano, no sabia que hablabas inglés...he visto un gran grupo de tus video en español y los he ido aplicando. Son muy buenos todos, felicidades. Probaré estas técnicas, pues al dia de hoy aun no he intentado hacer este giro.
Saludos
Very helpfull workout ... many thks
nice one. I will surely follow this after the pandemic. thanks for creating and sharing this video.
Awesome work thanks for sharing
Thanks to your video,
I can butterfly.
Thank you so much,good luck🌹
While I was at the pool, I watched this video and learnt how to flip, now I need to learn landing and turn so that I can pick up the pace 😁
雖然聽不太懂，但是影片示範很清楚，下次去游泳的時候再練習看看，感謝您的分享。
Thanks for this on Saturday I have my competition and I need a refresher of how to flip turn
Thank you very much for the video!
I was wondering, I can do the turn without any water getting in to my nose, however both my years get full every time I try to flip.
Is it a mistake I'm doing or I'm just defective and I need ear plugs :?
Uno de los mejores canales de natación de CZcams. Y lo digo yo que los veo casi todos jajaja :D
Tried it out today. Still have to work on the balance while pushing off the wall though. But taking baby steps :) Thanks a ton! ❤
Thank you for introducing how to turn♥️
Great video, I appreciate that you filmed a learner as she improves.
Thank you!
Great tutorial, thx for sharing!
Beautiful, simple explanation. Thanks a lot!
You are welcome!
“Act like your kissing your knees”
Me: 0-0
Gracias thanks !! Así mismo lo practicar y listo en media hora me salió !😍😍😍 saludos y gracias siempre por los buenos consejos y una gran sorpresa que lo nsrraste en inglés felicidades 👍😁😁
Muy bien! si este es nuestro canal en ingles :)
Nice tutorial guys will try it out 👍👍👍
I took an enormous time to learn this skill. The reason behind was, I practiced this always without a nose clip and ended up with lot of water inside my nostrils. I would highly recommend this to practice with a nose clip on and once you reached at a comfortable point after learning remove the nose clips. This will help for sure.
👍 video !
Thank you so much brother..it was very clear.. easy explanation..like from IRAQ
Thanks again!
Good explanation. Thanks
Thank you for this and so inspired to learn 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank you very much for this video, i love and have passion about swimming

I’m not a professional yet but getting there and the sense of satisfaction when I get it right is great! I know really look forward to reaching the flip turn 👍
Absolutely!!
छान माहिती मिळाली !!!👍
Great tutorial
nice .. much appreciated video well structured & encouraging
✌🏻🤘🏻
Thank you. This video save my money because now ı must not go to swim course for learn flip turn. You are great.
It is nice to also see some amateurs illustrating things. It makes us feel not stupid and things.
Well explained and beautifully made. More slow-mo with explanations in videos, maybe? It's easier to digest, then, I think. But I should of course simply re-watch video a couple of times and pause, etc., but I don't have the patience for that. Really nice when videos are short and concise also! :)
Thank you! I like this video too, after all we were all amateurs once. thanks for the feedback and will publish more videos with more slow mo.

@@peglor this is true and a good tip
Very nice! Thank you!
such a nice feeling when I get it right 😊
This is a great video. It was really nice to see an inexperienced swimmer going through the process. It can be intimidating for people to see top level swimmers with many years of high level coaching under their belts doing tutorials. I have been swim coaching and teaching for 17 years and love the simplicity demonstrated breaking the turn down to 3 easy steps. I do have a couple of tips for those who are getting water in their nose and ears. To stop water going up your nose you can either 1. Use a nose clip (I find them uncomfortable as i like to exhale through my nose when swimming), 2. Blow air out your nose during the turn, 3. Hum (you use less air humming compared with blowing air out your nose), or 4. Now this one isnt for everyone, but its what i and a good deal of experienced swimmers do. You cover your nose with your upper lip causing like a suction seal. You dont need big lips - in fact I had to teach my lip how to do it, but it works!. For those getting water in their ears, check that your cap is on properly and is comfortably covering your ears before starting your swim. Use ear plugs (after trying several different types unsuccessfully, I use blue tac). If you don't like ear plugs, then using an oil based swimmers ear drop before you swim wont stop the water going in, but it will protect the ear and help to get the water out later. A lot of people jump around to get the water out, but the best method i have found is to slowly tilt your head to the left then the right a few times.

Thank you for this!
Gonna try this tomorrow and claim my spot amid the professionals!
Swimming in CZcams is easier than pool!
Thanks for your video. I will try.
Thank you... Im following the same practice... N.. Im quite successful..😊
Thanks for your sharing
I am good with freestyle swimming, but flip turn was my weak point, thank you, is backstrock flip turn the same or had a different technique?
Me encanto los ejercicios, Gracias por compartirlos!
Tendrán algún video de como realizar los giros mas explosivos y las llegadas.
saludos!
I am so getting a nose clip and also - be splashing cold water to my face and be tucking my chin while doing so!! Thank you
I like swimming, but i like your voice too it is soo calm !!
Very much helpful I found the problem I was flipping to early sometimes and other time to late and then all the time I was kicking downwards when landing
Excellent video. After.many years , finally I can do the flip.
Now, i have noticed that doing the flip during my swimming, i get very tired. After my 4th lap , and doing the flip, i am completely exhausted, and without doing the flip ( but without stoping ) , i can do a lot more
Is this normal, or is just because I am not used to do the flip ?
Moves like this is why i enjoy swimming, its like you have complete freedom
It is possible to learn it in one day! I have been trying it more than a year.
Kudos to the Swimmers who compete professionally. They make this stuff look EASY.
Very good video. Thanks
