I'm just now getting around to reading the article by Eney Jones about 90-degree buoy turns in the latest issue of Swimmer. I'll admit that I never thought of turning like this before even though I've done numerous OW races with buoy turns. Do lots of people use this technique? Will lots more try it after seeing the article? :)
I've never used or even thought about turning like that either. I'll certainly try it this season once the ice melts, so I'd also love to hear from anyone who uses it.
I may be wrong, but it seems to me that you can see this turn in action at 6:30 or so of the Swimmer Wetsuit review video.
