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.:(

I'll put this bluntly--without a flip turn, you can't hope to be competitive.

Good point. My 82 year old dad posted three top ten times this year for scm--without flip turns. As the baby boomers age, perhaps we'll see a wave (pun intended) of octogenarians doing flip turns in the next thirty years.
