Hey all ive been coaching on and off over the past 10 years. I used to always get in and help my swimmers in the water by doing drills with them, showing them turns and stuff. Recently ive been away from swimming for about 4 years. I just got back into the pool the other day to work on turns, but the weirdest thing happens whenever i flip or even open turn (like a fast open turn). Ill do my flip but it will make my head start spinning. I feel it entirely in my head, ill do the flip, get dizzy and my head will tingle a little bit. Its actually really scary and i only did a couple turns the first day. Yesterday i went a little more intense and did about 15 turns, the last few felt a little better but now im feeling a little nauseous in bed. Im not sure with all of the research in concussions and symptoms but is this something that i should be able to work through and keep doing, or should I not swim until i can get it figured out?

  • I don't really care what others think of my open turns. :shakeshead: It comes down to this: Either I care what others think and do flip turns (and then make myself seasick and miserable), or I don't care what others think and do open turns and feel great. :ohyeah: Hmmm, that was an easy decision. P.S. Your post was confusing to read, because the second paragraph is what I had written above your post.
