Feet Straight Up or at Slight Angle on the wall in Flip Turn
Former Member
I saw two videos saying different about whether feet should be planted on the wall straight up or at a small angle during flip turn.
At 1'20'' in a goswim video, Glenn Mills suggested 10-11 o'clock rather than 12 o'clock
YouTube- Swimming - Turns - Freestyle Flip Turn Step #5
At 30'' in a Race Club Camp video, Gary Hall Sr. suggested straight up

I was wondering which one is better or in what case which one is better?
Thanks!

I prefer to keep the feet pointed the same direction as the knees for less torque on the pushoff.
So if I push off on my back, my feet are straight up.
Usually I do 1/4 twist on the flip. So my feet are at 10:30AM on the wall.
