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

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!

    I'll keep studying these videos too - it may just sink in! Thannks for posting these Good thing to do. Paying attention to these details, that's part of training. If you want detailed explanations about this turn, you may try to rent a copy of latest Maglischo's book "Swimming Fastest", it is detailed there as well as some other variations of back-to-***. But even after reading it over and over, I don't seem to be able to hold the information in my head long enough. As soon as I reach the deck, black out.. (well not that bad, I can now do something that look like a flip. But it is still very laughable and would probably end up DQ using it). In the mean time, if anyone could tell us if #1 and #3 are the same, would greatly be appreciated. I prefer #1 since it look more natural and as efficient.
