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..

Coming into the wall my arms are at my sides, I tuck my head to initiate the turn, give a bit of a dolphin kick to add some speed. As my feet are coming in contact with the wall I extend my arms into a streamline to prepare for the pushoff. I sometimes push off on my back but on faster turns I find myself at a 45 degree angle between back and side. I have found that my faster turns come more naturally than my slower turns. It all seems to come together with speed.
