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?

I had the opposite problem to you - I used to practice in a pool with a shallow end of 3' and a "deep" end of 5' so was used to shallow turns. Then I would miss the turns in warm-up in competition because I tried to sight the turn off where the wall and pool-bottom met. This was particularly at tricky at the bulkhead!
