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:
I see several partial-length turns every day during early morning workouts by people who can easily swim the whole length of a 50 meter pool but choose not to. It is not tough to swim the entire length, just keep swimming to the other wall. The water is your friend.
