I've been wanting to start doing flip turns again, but every time I try, I wind up dizzy coming out of the turn. Does this happen to anyone else? Can you stop it? How?:confused:

Here's a thought: take a couple days during the week and for the last 30 minutes of your normal workout, practice just flipping over and over, doing what this guy does in the video. Its a little like water play but the result, I predict, will be a greater comfort level (in your brain) with the phenomenon of the flip.
Oh yeah - the man in that video is AWESOME! I can only dream of doing his flip turns...
I totally agree that practice will help. I've never been a great flipper :D but for the past few weeks, I've been adding more and more flip turns into my swims and I'm getting faster and less dizzy. Who knows what they look like from above, but no one has pointed and laughed at me just yet. :p
