flip turn and oxygen debt

Hi, I feel having more and more oxygen debt as doing more and more flip turn when swimming continuously. There must be something wrong with my technique, like badly timing the last breath before turn and staying too deep and long off the wall. How can you cope with this lack of air problem? Thanks and regards!

  • I used to have a horrible time with flip turns, when I was younger I only did them in races and hardly ever in practice. 3 years ago as I began to swim again, I made it a point to do more flip turns. Each practice I'd do a few more than the last, and after about 4 months or so, it became habit and now I do them continuously without thinking about it. It was a bit tough at first and I was always feeling out of breath, but gradually over time my endurance got better. :D
