i get dizzy when doing flip turns.
i've been taking ginger supplements (supposed to help w/ motion sickness) but it has not helped.
any suggestions? forgo freestyle?

Are your eyes open or closed while flipping?
You might try some variations of closing your eyes such as:
Eyes open going into the turn so you know you're beginning the flipturn in the right place.
Close your eyes as you begin the spin and until your feet are set on the wall.
Open your eyes for the streamline push-off.
I like to see what is going on as I flipturn.
But in playing around with it, I think you could save yourself that spinning out of control feeling by closing your eyes on the somersault.
That is, if it isn't an inner ear problem.
I hope you can figure it out.
I love flipturns and they make your swims faster!
Good luck!
