I'm trying to learn the quick turn. Somedays I do it perfectly, and other days it's like I've totally forgotten how to do it. I love the feel of it. Any suggestions?

Great demonstrations. Any verbal instructions. I seem to use my arms more than I should. IT looks from the demonstrations, that you lead with your head? I also tilt to one side and end up coming facing the side of the pool vs. the direction I need.
Facing the side of the pool isn't such a problem so long as you use it to your advantage.
My tumble turn is very much a right-about turn so I come out of it on my right side facing the left side of the pool.
To make use of this I streamline with right hand below left and kick on my side until my first stroke which is made with the right hand.
Driving my body into a rotation with the hips helps to make the first stroke even stronger and gets the body-roll started.
No doubt this will work for some better than others, but it seems to work for me!
