Does anyone remember:
When were flip turns in free style invented/introduced in competitive swimming?
When did goggles become 'standard equipment' for swimmers?
Thanks!
Goggles weren't worn in the Olympics until '76. We never wore them when I was an AGer in the mid-to-late 60's.
We did freestyle flip turns, but with a somewhat different technique than today with an exaggerated pike position and then "flipping" or throwing your lower legs over to the wall.
