I just started training for a senior olympics backstroke event and I’m chicken to flip turn! I’ve watched the YouTube videos I’ve tried a couple of times but not good at it! What are the secrets and how do I turn if I don’t flip turn?

    I haven’t flip turned at all, freestyle or back. I get the concept, but need hints on the mechanics. Like, how far from the wall do I start? Do I tuck tight or go deep? Am I going to get a nose full of water?
