need drills for practicing back-*** turn

you just need to do a lot of turns and get comfortable with the one you prefer. I suggest you start in the middle of the pool swim backstroke to the wall and do a back to *** turn with an underwater pull out then stop in the middle of the pool and rest a little then do another one. practice turning on each arm, for some reason back to *** turns feel better/faster from my left arm than my right. try the bucket turn and the flip over turn I prefer and do the flip over turn. Do many slow turns to get used to them then speed up till you're doing a few at race pace. get timed from the flags to the flags in and out of a turn try different kinds of turns to find which turn is fastest for you the flip is fastest for me but sometimes it's good to get a big breath from an open turn also flip the turns in regular training try to do the turn with someone beside you and gauge where you are versus them when you come off the turn. try to go in even and come out ahead. good luck ande Originally posted by RayT Hi all, Could someone please share with some drills for practicing rollover turn on your side for backstroke-breaststroke?
