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 most comfortably to my right side. While flip-turning, I turn to the side I breathe (my right). I've tried to turn to the left just to try it and it feels awkward. I haven't felt like there is a reason for me to switch, whereas breathing to both sides has more of an advantage (if I were to choose something to work on).
