Flip turns

I need help- When I push off after I flip and my body is in streamline position when I begin to stroke it seems that I slow down too much. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I do admit I often sneak a breath but even when I don't it seems I slow down too much. Any suggestions?

  • And a couple of other things.. 1) Make sure you are streamlined before you finish pushing off the wall. Many people waste a lot of Mo pushing off and then streamlining. 2) Following up on Bob McAdams’ second point, I’ve seen a lot of people lifting their head out of the streamline to breath. If you need to breath out of the turn, keep the head low, swimming downhill.
