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..

Thanks, that helps.
I've been trying to follow my lead arm with my head to initiate my turn. Then I do this weird quick scull as I rotate. With that I end up with two problems.
One is that I have to time the wall perfectly. My coach told me that I slow down into the wall. Probably because I am trying to time it.
And two, I don't think I rotate very quickly when I do the scull thingy. My body is not as tight as it could be when I rotate.
I think having my hands at my side will help give me a little more fudge factor on the timing so I can attack it more aggressively instead of thinking about timing it. And hopefully It will also prevent me from doing any sculling as I rotate.
Now its time to practice it. These are great tips. Thanks again
