I have just got "back into it" after 11 years. back to *** can you do a "flip" turn to ***? I grew up with the touch and flip and in high school backstroke changed to the flip. Any input?
Thanks
I think what everyone said is correct, but the answer to your question still might not be clear.
You cannot flip unto your stomach in the back to *** transition UNTIL your hand touches the wall. Once your hand touches you can do anything you want until your feet leave the wall. Then you must be toward your stomach.
So, basically, the IM back to *** transition is the same as it was previous to the "new" backstroke turn rule.
