Elisabeth Tinnon, a rookie breaststroker at U of Texas at the Big 12 champs on Friday night. At her first turn in the 100 *** she touched with both hands, and then did a flip turn (like a freestyle flip) She was not DQ'd. IT did appear that she picked up ground on the rest of the field. Has anyone seen this before.

The brush turn is the only way this turn works. If you poke at the wall your momentum carries you into the wall, you need to brush the wall and keep the hands moving down fast and tight so that you end up on your back.
Pushing off on your back, then twisting immediately "past the vertical towards the ***" makes this a fast turn when done right.
Thank you for reminding me about the brush turn. I am getting old, CRS!
