I'm training for my second triathlon - now that I know better and know what to expect I'm actually researching and trying to learn more and think this site is great! Thanks to everyone who provides their expertise.
I have a question about lap swimming though, I've never learned how to flip turn, so I get to the end turn around and come back. Two questions on that, does that affect my swim by not doing the flip turn? Guessing not much since there is no flip turning in open water...and second how could one learn to do a flip turn? Feel kinda foolish when even the grandma's are doing them and I can't :-[
Thanks!

Instead of flipping over right away on your stomach after the turn. Try just doing the turn and pushing off on your back then slowly rotating over on your stomach. I myself and my whole team in high school were doing that after turning over and cut a bunch of time cause that's what our coach made us do over and over till we got it right.
