How to Control Which Side to Turn to in Flip Turn?
Former Member
I have been practicing flip turn for some while. All my turns are to my right side. I intentionally try to turn to the left but mostly fail. However I have seen many other swimmers turn to their left most of the time.
I was wondering what are the critical points that control which side to turn to?
I guess mastering this will help me to get a better feeling and balance under the water. Do you also think so?
Thanks!
i roll so that my left side is down,
most swimmers do it that way
some roll to their right
swimmers pick a side and stick with it

My turns are also always on the right side. Why do you think this is undesirable? I don't think it matters, use the side you are most comfortable with.
