Flipping straight

I have trouble flipping directly over and landing on my back for the push off. I usually flip diagonally and do an immediate corskscrew type of push-off. Are there exercises (possibly using some sort of swimming gadget) that can help me correct this flip turn flaw? -Jon

  • Done perfectly the corkscrew is not necessarily slower,but it is very easy to have some hesitation as you push off.If you can do it without hesitation,great,but that is a very common flaw that I see frequently at meets. Thanks Allen, for me, I think the corkscrew is faster, today I tried the other way and it just isn't 'right'.:fish2:
