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..

I looked at the goswim tip and its pretty good for the basics. But does anyone have any good drills for practicing fast flip turns?
I swam a short course meters meet this weekend and my times were about the same or slower than my long course times. I don't gain any speed off the walls. And out of the corner of my eyes, I could see that I am getting passed on the walls.
I think I am doing something wrong with my arms as I spin. Like trying to scull and stablize my body as I rotate. Can someone describe what my arms should be doing as I start to turn, rotate, then push off?
