Hello everyone! I, like many others, am getting back into swimming after taking about 5 years off. I swam distance in high school and joined masters in college. Through those years, I religiously flip turned during each workout/race. Now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, I've come to realize that flipping concumes a great deal of energy. So here is my question, since I'm starting over from scratch, do I flip or not during my workouts? My ultimate goal is to build enough distance to re-join a masters program. Do I flip or not flip, that is my question.
Thanks!

Flip turn as much and as often as you can.
I swim *** stroke and do open turns only.
Turning to the same side all the time brought on some elbow pains, so now I make sure that I change it up more often.
