Dizzying flip turns

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: Kae

    It's not like I kept my eyes closed for the rest of the lap;) . I just pushed off the wall a little crooked. I'll keep practicing, since closed-eyes seem to help. I just need to practice the right time to open them. I'm blind as a bat without my glasses on, you'd think I'd be used to not seeing where I was going (and before you tell me about presrciption goggles and wearing contacts, I actually prefer to swim without them). And, since I felt like y'all would probably encourage me to start adding laps to my workout, last night I added an extra 200 meters. Whaddya know, this community support thing actually works :D ! Kae
