Lately I have been really working hard to improve my turns and I have a few questions about a fast sprint freestyle turn.
1. On the push off you to initiate the rotation onto your belly with your feet or by pushing off straight and twisting your upper body?
2. Does it matter what side you rotate to? For example if you are right handed rotate to your left?
3. Where should your arms be for the best streamline. Covering the ears or slightly behind?
4. How deep should you be when you push off? The center of the "+" on the wall?
5. How do you roll to get a deeper push off?
Thanks for any help or advice given.

I agree with a lot that has been written here, especially paularhibald. But I do not flip over and end up on my back because at that point a swimmer then has to then "take the time" to get on their side and push off. This is way too much movement when you are trying to push off to start with.
Also, I prefer to go deep off the walls to avoid the incoming wave; you know, get under it.
