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!

When my swimmers don't get over straight, it's usually due to their head position. I tell them to position their nose right in the middle of their knees and that corrects the problem. The slightest movement of the head to the right or left will move the legs in the opposite direction. Remember, even slight movements of the head will move your legs in the opposite direction. Good luck, Coach T.
