I too am a dork and have not yet learned how to flipturn with a snorkle, but will learn this week. Promise.
Flipturn? I couldn't make it 10 yards. I really am glad to have so many people respond and tell me that it is learnable, and the nose clip might not even help.
The diving competition was right next to this section and the noise created the havoc. Made it nearly impossible to give instructions for group drills.
Still everyone had the chance to try out the goods and that was cool.
There were lots of reasons for the havoc at the Toys station. I think the biggest problem was that there were 2 of each type of toy for every 5 people, and the plan was to have everyone use the same toy at the same time. Musical Chairs! Every 50, the assistant coach said, "We are not doing that yet" about 5 times. Maybe it ran smoother earlier in the day, or maybe it was just me.
I got what I wanted out of the station, but it didn't run as smoothly as the other stations.
