For your comment. I have a few things that I have noticed from the video that I need to work on. I welcome any and all comments. I am in the lane at the top. And BTW, the guy in the blue cap who beat me is 18 years younger that me :thhbbb:

Just do a bucket spin turn (i.e. classic back turn) from back to ***. It's not worth doing a complete reverse flip. It takes about as long to get over the top and it consumes too much Oxygen.

I did my first roll over flip turn on the 100 IM at that meet. It was only half successful as the touchpads were moving around and it freaked me out in warm up. (Also, as Paul rightfully told me, the fretting about the turn made my backstroke leg way too slow. I was out a full second too slow, I think.)
BUT, I think the flip is much faster. At least for me. I'm much slower doing that old bucket spin thing. But Paul is very tall, so maybe the flip would be slower for him. Jeff Roddin sure did a dazzling one!
