In the Olympics everyone does flip turns in the 1500m but I was wondering whether many ordinary mortals resort to open turn for longer distances in the pool? I think I am quicker flipping in a short distance race
but it feels as though as I am going slightly into oxygen debt, so I'm not sure they're beneficial over long distances. (I am experimenting but I don't do enough long distance races to have much data.)
That's a nice time! Good swimming!
I agree that in the 200 back, O2 management is important.Thanks. The OP hit on a topic that I feel like I've had a breakthrough on, so I thought it was a good example of doing something that's eschewed at the elite level, but may help us down here at the mere mortal level.
