Your videos are really well done. Exactly what I needed to refresh my skills...we just got a new indoor pool near my house. First month swimming laps in 15 years!

I have high school swim tryouts tonight and I'm really nervous. Hope I make it

[@alibac2006]

merci infiniment pour cette belle vidéo

[@jmartin4955]

Probably the best flip turn guide I have seen. I had a teacher that pointed out that I wasn't tucked enough; sure enough when I tucked into a ball, my turn was much faster and I kept my momentum. Still getting dizzy from the tumble! Ugh!

[@shanteltenzie506]

you helped so much I watched all your swimming videos and at first I was bad now I'm way better but not better than you 😃😃

[@patrickcallow2036]

omg thanks!!! my flip turns were too close to the wall and now I learned to not do my flip turns too close to the wall :) all I need to do is just when I see the T coming I do the flip and keep my knee closer to my chest and i should be fine :)

[@idugauaconan2353]

0:34 this is a position of your body wow, appropriate audio track

[@clarkkale245]

@isportdotcom Hey, how to control the air when flip turn? I always out of air when flip turn. It's hard to control the breath out through nose.

[@retnosaputraswedye9487]

Thanks

[@bhavikpansara766]

thanks

[@EvVieNiamhNyx]

I can sometimes flip really well, then other times fail completely. I have the most trouble in deeper water where for some reason I want to kick off at an angle and waste a lot of effort swimming downwards. I wish I had a pool with all of these neat lines! I usual swim in a hotel like swimming pool or in a lake. In the hotel swimming pool I usually do a good flip at the 3ft/4ft end but fail at the 9ft end. Any tips?

[@carly2029]

lol water entered my nose, and went straight up to my head, jwk

[@goatfather66]

Yeah, the same as I was thinking, usually I will put on the nose clip when I have to face up in the water

[@luvvlaniee1]

Oh gosh I am just starting and had no clue we had to do this lol

[@markusadelard2018]

This is really helpful, however, how can you avoid feeling like your nose hurts while flipping? Any tips?

[@rickoasisfan]

As I flipped ....water got up my nose & I drown .....then quickly died. My sprit has come back to haunt the video !

[@2013danrazor2015danrazor]

+rickoasisfan thats why you need nose plugs m8. happens to me when diving feet 1st too

[@rickoasisfan]

It was more of a sarcastic observation that the "educator" never instructed on the breathing part of a flip turn.

[@divineplays1642]

+2013danrazor Your supposed to blow out Of your nose the entire flip

[@isabelzhao3462]

I have the same problem and this is why I am afraid of flip turn ;(

[@VladyslavChapiuk]

the first thing the trainer studied me was the underwater breathe. it is very easy, you just need to slowly breathe out with your nose when underwater. when you are doing the flip, make it a little bit harder. it must become a good habit.

[@andrewgerman5958]

No mention of proper breathing technique while doing this?

[@ralph2361]

+AryanCOCONUT when and until when should I blow through my nose while doing the turn?

[@divineplays1642]

+Phinn The Roamer No, when your flipping you blow out until right after you push off

[@rad4878]

How does six stokes and turn drill takes the fear from hitting the wall?

[@winifredskees4158]

Great video! I have a question thought. I have tried many times to do a flip but every single time water enters in my ear. How can I avoid that?

[@mustafa25804]

+uwmatt1000 please can you just tell me what is the name of this kind of diving when they do the flip turn and start diving like fish. the feet moving simultaneously in the same direction and the body is moving like waves ????

[@mikaellarmond889]

hey guys just a tip most of you are asking a bout breathing when doing a flip turn or an open turn on your back as you glide from the wall gently release air you have through your nose. do not exhale to much air or you may not be able to do your kicks and you'll loose air.

[@agapeeternal]

we just started learning this in my swim class and I don't really fear hitting the wall or water up my nose. I have a hard time merely doing the somersault itself. I can't seem to flip over at all :|

[@fernandonogueira3290]

Thanks ! ... Excellent !

[@alinaberahim8429]

5 star

[@Lanarkwow]

I try to breathe out through my nose sometimes when I try these.

[@warcraft1312]

feel that so difficult to control the direction when wall leaping.

[@richl9268]

Do all swimming pools have crosses on them? I don't think mine does.

[@simonriley849]

Most recreational pools do, try going to your local recreational facility.

[@masyomohamed]

i can do it but the prob;em not in do it >> i did many times but the problem with the berath the turn kill my breath and my nose hearts me when do it

[@murstarfilms3554]

I like can you help me because i have siwmming

[@drewnelson95]

Is the commentator Stephanie Collier by chance?

[@MrRapperb]

I was having trouble in breathing while doing flip turn. Its like I release too much oxygen while doing this and I do not have enough oxygen left to do dolphin kick :(. need more practice

[@UniverseUtopia]

When I summer salt, my feet don't touch the wall, and my head goes to the ground! What should I do?

[@leag.8356]

Flip quicker

[@lorenzzi]

This is the msot difficult skill of a swimmer. Ive been swimming for at least 3 months and I still can't do it.

[@nonsense7535]

great video, but it doesn't mention the most important factor, as your head in the lowest position under water,you should straight your waist up to pull your legs to the back direction, pushing your turning body around.

[@ifoxrider]

they forgot to mention to breath out the nose when about to flip because will definitely get into your nose unless you use a nose clip

[@AmbiixROX]

You could use a nose clip, or I close the back of my mouth so that air can't flow through my nose, then water can't either.

[@FierceGenesis]

Exhale through your nose as you flip. It helps a lot.

[@FiishLin]

my problem is that water gets in my nose too quickly...

[@gabitsaliev9388]

роехъг. .лнйгц

[@gabitsaliev9388]

роехъг. .лнйгцтЧнж?и!иф!

[@divineplays1642]

Supposed to blow out of your nose

[@klarardh]

I always get an intense pain in my sinuses above my eyes when I make the flip turn, so I do not do it. I guess I am not exhaling through my nose. Stupid me! BTW, very nice video.

[@timothyjesus]

I am wondering why water keep coming into my nose.

[@raegangonsalves6126]

80 degree

[@guadalupemr82]

My swim coach wants me to learn how to do that i am scared

[@MrSOMESTUPIDSHIT]

skip to 2:00 your welcome

[@thegamingwarriors1786]

hi guys! I can dona flip turn because I hold my brrth

[@FlyingNunchuck84]

Ii sometimes swim on a bed

[@jacobsoltys8306]

HOW DO YOU NOT GET WATER UP YOUR NOSE!!!!!

[@hildaagot2503]

it is easy when you pratice it first before you try it

[@santigames5351]

I thought the swimmer got cut in half

[@FlyingNunchuck84]

I mean I

[@Isthatafactnoitisnot]

HERP A DERP.

[@ralph2361]

Came here to learn about proper breathing so water doesn't get inside my nose while doing the flip. Doesn't mention it. I'm now a sad man.

[@yvettemenard9731]

+Ralph L That's so sad!! since you're sad anyway, try being sad in the pool. Pretend your blowing your nose (from crying) while you flip. Water can't come in while you're blowing out! Try not to get too many boogers in the pool though, folks don't appreciate that so much.... :)

[@BurjDubai162]

+Ralph L Just constantly blow out of your nose as you flip

[@jacoblee2408]

[@shaniquagomez5924]

i know this is childish but "she said buttocks hehehe😋

[@ayodebbie2819]

I know right buttoks

[@richl9268]

shannen lopez "Butt-hocks"

[@anntrann2849]

Lol knees near your buttox

[@RuneAndreassen]

I'm so scared of hitting the wall

[@yang7197]

me too. I am afraid to hurt my legs. Or too far away from the wall.

[@EmilyChangyaaassssomgsoawesome]

Rune Andreassen try flipping once you see the T shape on the floor

[@RuneAndreassen]

I will try that. Thank you.

[@johnson6241]

Iv got a clip, I mean tip...no, I was right the first time, buy a nose clip.

[@deedee-dk2uz]

And my Crew just keeps on getting bigger, and bigger;That's 'Cause Jesus Christ is my... *Lord and Savior*

[@TheDrShredder]

Her underwater oart is really bad actually. She should leurn how to dolphin kick really...

[@BunniesUnite]

If you don't really know how to spell, then why criticise? :)

[@juan23foru]

Flip turn was wrong you picked your head up before the flip turn and you don't use your arms at all just a quick wrist flick......... Maybe go back to your coach I'm 16 that's sad next time make a better video and a correct one*

[@IzzyDelux]

Why don't you make a video then....
