A Turning Method (No Wall) for Half-Pool Swimmers?
Former Member
I currently swim half pool lengths, as I am a beginner and do not have the stamina to go into the lap lanes.
One challenge I have found is in having to stop and plant my feet after reaching the half-way point (which is indicated by ropes) and restart my body position in order to swim back the other way. I'm curious if there is a techique for doing turns without a wall that would help me keep some kind of continuity in swimming? Thanks so much in advance for your time and your help! :applaud:
In support of the other comments, there is a way to turn mid-pool without contacting the bottom, but you lose momentum and all leverage (wall), and the energy it takes to get back to speed in more than enough to get to the other wall for a length
