Often when I make the approach for a flip turn I'm out of breath and take a last gasp before the turn. I blow bubbles as I rotate and during push off. After this short amount of time and blowing bubbles, I'm desperate for air and can't glide very far from the wall before taking a breath. How does one learn breath control?

Are you having trouble staying aerobic during the swim, which is making you desperate for air? Or are you expelling most of your air during the turn? If the later, you can experiment on how much (how little) to "bubble out" to keep water out of your nose.
