So I'm back to swimming, 20 years later.
Swam backstroke when I was a kid and used what I'd call a "bucket turn" back in the days when you were DQ'd if you broke the plane and flipped over onto your stomach at any point.
I think they've since changed the rules. It seems I'm seeing people do what looks like a regluar freestyle flip turn. They just roll over on the last stroke, do a regular flip turn, and then push off on back.
Any tips on how to do this? Other than practice, practice, practice? I'm very comfortable doing freestyle flip turns, but combining it with back feels very ackward to me.
Guess I'm old world.

The dorsal is how so many perople now refer to the backstroke.
John,
I once heard our favorite coach, Mr. Quick, say that when someone is swimming the back stroke, you shouldn't be able to tell if they are swimming the back or free when they are breathing.
