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 started using this type of turn about ten years ago. I nearly always use it in races. I think the only circumstance that I don't use it is when I am side-by-side with someone else and the turn would risk tangling arms or delivering (or receiving) a blow to the face.
