Back To *** Turn

I need some tips or a verbal breakdown of how to do this back to *** turn - my current way is terribly slow (kind of a very weak bucket turn) and I'd like to start working on this... seems as though on this kind of turn you flip upside down a bit??? www.youtube.com/watch :help::drown:

    I've been working quite extensively on the back to *** turn, and it just so happens that I've figured out a way to understand it, and that seems to have really helped my IM. (finally) Here is an effective analysis: forums.usms.org/showpost.php Also, I personally think this mini-routine has been very effective to help improve the turns...

  • i got deked several years ago at a masters meet in 100 im, back to *** turn because they said i dipped my shoulder. i wasn't horizontal on my back when i touched.

    Awesome! That is perfect! I think practicing it without the wall is brilliant... especially since you won't have the fear of actually hitting the wall when you make a mistake! Thank you!!! PS: Is there more of a chance of getting DQ'd if you screw it up during a race?

    Thank you, I'm happy that you've found benefit from the back to *** advice. Just be persistent in training, and you'll be fine under race conditions. Awesome! That is perfect!
