For some of us... ten feet, and even that doesn't seem like enough. :frustrated:
I got the hang of flip turns at one point, though never felt safe doing them in the shallow end... still, it was something. Then, one day when I started one in the deep end, somehow the flip went wrong and I found myself diving down along the wall, getting an awful cramp and coming up (don't ask me how) one lane over. Too embarrassing! After that, I managed a few more flip turns but not many more... kept tensing up when I approached the wall, so I couldn't complete the flip. Eventually, I'll get back to them, but that experience took the wind out of my sails for a LONG time!
