back-to-*** transition - any advice?

gigi
All the other transitions seem pretty straight-forward to me, and I think I get off the wall pretty quickly on those, but for some reason I feel like I'm hanging on the wall too long on the back-to-*** and I just know I'm doing something wrong. Should I be facing the opposite wall when i let go of the wall? or is facing the side ok? Anyone have a trick or a technique for getting feet on the wall quickly? Any help or advice you all can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

  • Thanks for those videos - what I have been doing resembles neither one of those. I wish I knew the term for what I've been doing - i've been leaning into the wall with whichever hand touches first, grabbing the gutter, pulling myself into the wall, somehow getting my feet on the wall, dropping down onto my opposite side and pushing off. I guess I'd call it an open turn. All I know is that it completely destoys my momentum and it's incredibly slow At the very least, I've learned from these videos that the hand touches underwater and stays there. The female swimmer is doing something that I can't quite figure out. The male swimmer's technique looks closer to what I have been doing so maybe I'll use that as my model. THanks for posting these videos - I'll study them to see what I can emulate. Any advice that could talk me through the steps would be most appreciated Thanks everybody
