Deep end flip turn vs shallow?

Hi all, I noticed something this past week on my flip turns. I consistently get a smoother, faster turn at the deep end of the pool, and my shallow end turns are less fluid and a bit more timid coming into the wall. I assume this is because the shallow depth makes me feel a bit more crowded so that I hesitate more. Also I think I tuck my legs in more at the shallow end and my timing is slightly off. Any suggestions?

  • thanks for suggestions. :) Our pool is, as far as I know, a normal regulation 25 yd pool with (3.5' shallow end?). I suppose I did answer my own question. I'll just need to get over my phobia and as you said.. 'attack' the turn the same way, though head position may be a factor too.. I'll pay attention to these next time.:D I guess I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what specifically they may have done to get past it. :)
