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!

    Eureka!! ( U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums - View Single Post - back-to-*** transition - any advice? ) #1 and #3 aren't the same. #1 is derived from a Turn invented by a backstroke swimmer, I think his name is Mader. The specifics of this turn is that the swimmer isn't actually flipping. This turn allows for the legs to travel outside the water AND for the head to be outside the water as well allowing for the swimmer to breathe (if you pause the clip during the turn, you'll notice that his head is turned face up) #3 is the new kid on the block. There the swimmer is flipping and there's no way that he'd be able to breathe while doing it. Here. found another nice view #3 YouTube - IM - back-*** turn Man!! this is such a nice turn, I do not want to die before mastering it!!
