flip turn

I am still new to swimming, so as practicing at the local pool I noticed that people do turns in freestyle differently.Some do a turn when you kinda do the somersault and some just sort of dive in and then just flip over on their side and then push off the wall.Obviously I cannot do either right now so I was wondering which one is the best to do and what is the exact way to do it. Thanks.

    Thanks Guvnah, I've been swimming for 36 years and I've always used my arms to help fuel my flip. I knew it was wrong. As a kid, other swimmers would always joke about how i would stick my arms out when I turned. Now I get to start from basics. This is going to be as difficult to fix as a bad golf swing.
