https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/31711/nausea-after-flip-turnHi! I learned to do flip-turn this week. I was so nauseous afterward. I actually threw up a bit after I got out of the pool. Does anyone also have an experience like this? This had never happened to me before. I&#39;m learning flip-turn, so my turn wasnen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/293653?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 16 Nov 2022 01:33:07 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:3624548a-dc35-4c49-bb92-45c34d98bb11mb windrath<p>It&#39;s possible that your body just needs to get used to doing somersaults again.&nbsp; I have a synchronized swimming background and in my 50s I wasn&#39;t doing any synchro for about 8 months.&nbsp; The first time I went to synchro practice again after that 8 months, I was upside down and doing spins, and got really nauseous!&nbsp; That was odd because I&#39;d been doing flip turns and going upside down all my life with normal workouts and synchro workouts!&nbsp; I was able to get back to doing the synchro moves, but started out slowly.&nbsp; And even now after every swim workout, I go upside down and turn around, just so my body remembers what it feels like.&nbsp; You may be able to adjust as well, by not doing a lot of flip turns to begin with.&nbsp; Try only a couple one day, for a couple practices and then add some more as long as you&#39;re not feeling bad.&nbsp; See if you can ease into it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/293645?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 14 Nov 2022 18:33:09 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:8bb59e68-3ed3-409b-a7ea-fa90a65acf39Elaine Krugman<p><span style="color:#0000ff;font-family:&#39;comic sans ms&#39;, &#39;comic sans&#39;, sans-serif;font-size:150%;">You may have&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menieres-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20374910">Meniere&#39;s</a>.&nbsp; I used to be able to do flip turns as a high school swimmer; however, as an adult, I can no longer do them for this reason.&nbsp; For some reason, the inner ear fluid in my ears is such that I am able to do the old-style backstroke turns without a problem.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#0000ff;font-family:&#39;comic sans ms&#39;, &#39;comic sans&#39;, sans-serif;font-size:150%;">My suggestion would be to have an ear exam with an Ear/Nose/Throat doctor to see what&#39;s going on.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#0000ff;font-family:&#39;comic sans ms&#39;, &#39;comic sans&#39;, sans-serif;font-size:150%;">Good luck!</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
