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?

Have you tried sighting on a fixed point on the bottom of the pool? This is a technique dancers and figure skaters use to avoid getting dizzy while spinning. Try picking a fixed point on the bottom of the pool (the T, for example) and keep your eyes fixed on this location for as long as possible. At some point the dynamics of the turn will force you to look away, but it might help your dizziness to look at the fixed point for as long as possible.
