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:

Especially as you tire, you'll start to learn how improve your breakout (so you can get that breath!). My advice is when you switch to a free-kick, those kicks need to be as strong and keep you at the same speed or FASTER than what you were going with SDK.

Thanks, sound tough but fun. What is the breakout. I saw that in the USMS Swimmer in an article on evil stroking but it never actually said what a "breakout"s.:confused:
