3 Tips for a Smoother Flip Turn

[@dw309]

It looks effortless but there is so much happening in this one small move; breath, balance, coordination, strength, timing, and trust.

Key is to have enough breath to breathe out I think

[@christianhume7618]

.....the part they always take for granted - this has to be developed over time with newer swimmers.

[@andu75]

Because of my asthma, I need the breath on the turn, so I have tried to perfect my open turn. In comparison with similarly strong swimmers, I find that a good open turn is better than a mediocre flip turn, as many do.

[@missmoon77]

Ikr. I can't hold my breath longer to do some tips and trick while swimming that's the problem

[@TheRetenor]

​@@andu75Do you not get proper medication? As someone with asthma, I've always had serious trouble with my breathing but medication fixed it almost fully. My doctor even measured 120% lung performance of what I should have without asthma.

[@andu75]

@@TheRetenor Got it. But in the pollen season it is difficult, and sadly I have not yet found the right adjustment for 2x postcovid.

[@sricharankarthigeyan1783]

Guys make sure you breath out when doing this or water will goes into your nose and you will choke

[@corred2819]

yh i found that out the hard way

[@alext5497]

You can train yourself to not 'choke' by getting used to it But exhaling is easier.

[@StickyKeys187]

You can also use a nose clip

[@Gamer-ff-y7b]

How do I use the clip while swimming?

[@EliasOmarsson]

Thats what they don't tell you in school

[@SoftBank47]

I just did my first successful flip turn today! I followed the tips on this channel. I’m making some mistakes (like flapping my arms a bit to ensure a full rotation), so it’s not perfect. I have to trust that I have the momentum to make a full rotation. How much does core strength matter for a successful flip turn?

[@sophiabomba319]

It makes it wayy easier to actually flip at the wall, especially if you are not super fast. If you are not coming into the wall super fast, you have to get that momentum somewhere, and that is in core strength!

[@tinaspriv]

I really hope people see this comment, I swim and have had coaching too and now I am an experienced swimmer at the age of 12, and I know how to do a swimming flip ! It looked a little hard at first, but all you need is someone to be there with you. So you just stand in the swimming pool (the shallow side of the pool) and have someone to be there with you and then while you stand in the water keep your arms up just gently touching the roof of the water and then bring your arms down ( like push the through water by curling your arms that are going inside the water and bringing them toward you ) while standing. The moment you're about to bring your arms toward you try and put the force in your head and bring your head into the water bending over your stomach and let the person standing beside you help in pushing you on your back so you flip and turn ( It won't come out perfect the first few times because your energy might get drained out and you might not be able to complete a full flip turn the first few times ). You do get some water up your nose and some energy drained out, but it starts to get easier once you practice ! It really isn't that hard it's actually quite easy. Once you're confident enough, try it out yourself in the deep side of the pool because you might get injured in the shallow side. Just keep your arms on the roof of the pool water curl them toward you ( arms going in the water and curling them bringing them toward you inside the water ) and put your head into the water with a lot of force and turn your back bending over your stomach with the same amount of force bringing your legs up causing you to flip turn. It won't happen immediately, But if you follow my instructions you should get it in about 8-9 tries. Just put a lot of force ( Don't put too much force or else you will get drained out and dizzy, put more energy into it {You can practice freestyles, and once you get faster at them you will be able to get more stamina and energy needed} and be calm ), energy, balance and be calm. I got mine in two days so it's not hard if you try to. Hope this helps ! I would also appreciate a like because this took me a lot of time to write. Hope you try it out ! @ShadowMonsteRRRR

[@user-yq8dp6oy6n]

Thanks lil sis. I used to be able to do them although not as graceful as this guy. I can't do them anymore. I tried a few days ago and I ended up with water in my nose and a severe migraine that lasted for a few minutes. It was so painful put me off trying again, but I'll try again and update you hopefully, though I will be doing it solo. I would love to butterfly swim like he is. Looks so graceful. Working on breastroke and freestyle for now.

The tips is to continue pushing out air from your nose when uside down?

[@AnonymousTaco3472]

I don’t know how to dolphin kick. Im fairly new to swimming and I want to start adding flip turns into my regular lap swimming. I definitely don’t have the form right yet, but I’m working to correct it as much as possible(I’ve been working on it a little for about 3 days. Some struggles I’ve run into is feeling like I don’t have enough air to do repetitive flip turns without stopping and resting in between laps, I’ve struggled to gage the distance from the wall accurately, and I can’t dolphin kick lol, so I’m kinda wondering if dolphin kicking is suppose to take time to learn because it’s such an awkward movement for me. I figure though, most of these problems will be resolved through regular swim training, correcting my flip turn technique, and consistently practicing it.

[@user-mr5gs5dz2j1]

Get close enough to the wall so that if you do one more pull your fingers would be just about tipping the wall. • Pull and breath, one more pull then tumble. But sounds like you're improving fast so I'm sure that you're doing great. ❤

[@IceSkater77]

I like the tumble turn but i also dont because went i roll over, the water just gets in my nose and kinda drains my energy as well which doesnt leave me much for the rest of the lane

[@tinaspriv]

the water up your nose and the energy parts are soo true

[@IceSkater77]

@ShadowMonsteRRRR lol

[@bhartireena6484]

But after the flip push u dived downward into the water...was it correct?

[@titusfx]

The direction should be more straight instead of down. Right?

[@Axelstudio_]

Important: arms length from the wall when you flip

[@deportedsouls3165]

I don't have a problem with the flip but the dolphin-kick drains my energy!

I've never seen a pull with both arms,I must try that. Looks like it would be easier to flip straight over.

[@swimmygo]

Love to flip

[@SpeedStackingHuman]

On a 100 at the 75 (all out) I flip but I have no breath so when I do it I can’t stream line good and it’s hard to do the dolphin kicks. Also do you have to push off on your back why can’t you just flip then turn onto your front then push off. I do that it’s just a habit.

[@drawingnoob9255]

It's faster to just push off the moment you flip on your back.

[@SpeedStackingHuman]

@@drawingnoob9255 but the streamline is worse/harder

[@drawingnoob9255]

@@SpeedStackingHuman I don't think it's worse and if you see fast swimmers they always push off their backs it's just something you have to practice

[@SpeedStackingHuman]

@@drawingnoob9255 ok thanks

[@triciamuir]

That's why it's more ideal and faster in a backstroke turn than the old backstroke turn.. . Much faster..... I swam competitively awhile ago!!

[@erikmartin4996]

It’s a little confusing but you actually roll over onto your stomach immediately after your feet leave the wall so it’s almost like one move not two as the video makes it out to be.

[@haticeyuce2956]

İzlemeye doyamadım. Harika gerçekten ❤

[@kaleidoechoes]

I always have trouble to expel water out of the nose after flip turn.

[@nikheetisnotcool2951]

My coach made us do exactly this today

[@gillianarmour1444]

I end up facing the bottom of the pool, but not sure why! I also end up facing side-ways when pushing off with just hitting the wall with only one foot/leg...

[@mohsenkazemi2005]

Good luck 🍀

[@SANDEEP-77]

When I try to turn flip , water goes to nose .... How should stop water entering in nose..

[@clavilenyo]

During the flip time you have to breath out. When being focused to the bottom you can wait to breath till you are out again. 5 sec breath out, 5 sec wait. Breath again outside.

[@daveyboy_]

My problem.is when I kick off the wall I whoosh out all my breath then I'm out of breath. Then I am screwed

[@rossg9363]

Same and i breathe on every stroke so the time it takes to flip and push off under water im 1 breathe short of my breathing rate so a mistake is costly for me😊

I didn't manage to learn it properly, so made it another way like beginners.

man everytime after I flip and push the wall, I go up or like float up to the surface w/o doing dolphin kicks. Is it maybe because my arms are pointing up?

[@drawingnoob9255]

Pretty sure when you flip you want to be slightly pointed down in order to avoid the wave created when swimming.
