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 breathe nearly every stroke to the right side but turn to the left. I think for me it became a habit, but it might be based on the fact that I don't care to have my left ear upwards. it feels like water gets in.
I can start my flip turn with either arm, it doesn't effect which side I turn on.
