Ok I have been practicing my flip turns again. I am not too good at it I end up going sideways coming off the wall. I need to get a nose plug too because I cant get the hang of breathing out on the turn and water pours in my nose. Any flip turn tips..

  • The most common mistake I see is trying to turn back to facing down too soon. This will make you go off to the side. Watch your feet go over as Lainey said. Make sure they go straight over. Plant your feet on the wall,push off and then began to turn over. As you get proficient at that you can begin to start to turn over slightly as your feet touch the wall,but you should still be more on your back than side when you push off.
