Recently I've forced myself to do flip turns in practice, hoping I'll get better/faster at them. My question is about hand position. Many years ago I'd use my hands to scull and help flip me over. Now, however, after some experimentation, I'm just using my torso and a dolphin kick to turn myself over. My hands stay in front of me the whole time as far as I can tell. This seems to put them in a streamlined position faster so I'm ready to push off faster. Back to the question part: Is/does this sound right? It feels faster, but I don't know if I'm missing something. Any help/suggestions is/are appreciated. Thanks.:wiggle:
Bill,SDK for most people,but if your flutter kick is faster do that. I'd say if you are doing SDK start to flutter about when you start your pull.If you are losing time you are going too far for the speed of your kick.Not everyone is faster kicking underwater than swimming on the surface.Find out what is fastest for YOU.
