Backstroke Turn

All right, I just read the rule on the backstroke turn and couldn't figure out what was being said. I have been away from swim meets for 15 years so I think I saw some changes in telivised compititions. It seems that a freestyle flip turn is being used. Is this legal in masters swimming. I started doing what I saw on TV and it seems to be a great turn. I always hated the old style backstroke turn. If it is legal, could someone breakdown the rule in simple terms so that I dont get DQed. I don't have a formal coach at this time. Thanks

    jiggy, vanhallan? ...I don't think we youngins say that. Anyhow, swimming on your side does make sense cause don't you move through water better on your side?...I'll try it next time. :) David
