Here’s a flip turn video with some EXTRA TIPS&TRICKS to refine your Flip Turn! 👊🏻
1️⃣Approach the wall with speed. Don’t glide into the wall or slow down too much. A ball moving quickly into a tennis racket will move quickly off the racket 🎾 . Or think about throwing a ball at a wall, if you throw it lightly it’s not going to come back very fast. The same concept applies with your body as it’s moving into the wall.
2️⃣ Use the ’T’ on the bottom of the pool. You probably noticed there’s a black line with a ’T’ at the end on the bottom in most swimming pools. This ’T’ is just under two meters away from the wall so it let’s you know the wall is coming so that you don’t have to lift your head. So this ’T’ point is where you can initiate your final stroke and pull yourself into the flip. For everyone it’s different where exactly at this ’T’ you should start, partly depending on your speed as well. But at least you don’t have to check when the wall is coming. ’T’ is telling you!
