Since my recent avatar picture is the turn, I figure I'd might as well share my 2 cents on the subject.
Coming into the wall your head and torso should attempt to line up with a 45 degree angle to the back wall and bottom of the pool. (Keeping hips, legs, and feet close to the surface) This deeper upper-body position makes it much easier to get the hips and feet "spinning" over the top. As soon as the hips have crossed the "tipping" point, then your head and torso should go immediately in the opposite direction (closer to the surface) while your feet land on the wall in a semi-extended state. (See the picture)

Hey JIM!!!
Ummm, I just meant the avatar picture...
but check this www.poetryofmotion.com

Do you think the magazine would like this?
The Swim
Streamlining in a cool fluid flow,
With only air and water to soothe the senses,
Becoming entirely present through this rhythmic motion,
As past tension transmutes into current reflections,
Nothing now but sweet submission to this aqueous moment.
Cheers,
Jonathan
