I am wondering if there are ways you can get hurt doing flip turns. I have done them (slowly) and I am carefull not to hit my legs on the pool edge. I will say they are not (underlined) as easy to do as many swimmers make it look! Especially if you are coming into the wall at any speed!
I can understand world class swimmers getting every edge but other then show offing ..do lap swimmers really need to do this?
Tips on flips Please ?

Don't worry that you start out a little far. It takes practice when I first did flip turns on freestyle it was the lack of oxgen that effective me. I had not done them in 27 years. I still do backstroke now with an open turn
