Are flip turns all that fast when you consider how much oxygen they take up??.I have found that I am more able to swim at a regular tempo by doing "open" turns, than trying to do flip turns, which always put me out of my regular breathing pattern.:(

There is a pretty good article with diagrams over at H20ustonswims.org. Go to the article section and read the article called "Slim and Darrell" or something along those lines. It has some decent diagrams that help explain the proper technique.
I'll see if I can get the url and then will paste it here.
UPDATE:
There is not a direct link to the article. Here is the url for the site:

The article is titled "Slim and Darrell (or Faster Flip Turns for the Masses)"
