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!

In practice today I turned too soon and it reminded me of the two worst feelings in swimming:
2) When, in a race you execute a flip turn and realize your feet are not touching the wall.:(
1) when swimming butterfly and you realize you took one too many strokes at the end of the pool:eek:
