Hi everyone! I'm new here, and I'll be starting Master's Swimming next week. :) I consider myself a formerly strong swimmer, and used to swim competitively when I was younger. Unfortunately, due to reasons unknown to me, I decided to stop, and never formerly learned flip turns. I understand the technique behind them, but whenever I give it a shot, I can't seem to flip all the way over, instead leaning to left, causing me to flop over. Do any of you recommend any exercises or dills to help me out with this issue? Thanks!

    Try Jump tumble start drill! What you do is stand a away from the wall a little bit then you jump and bring your arms plus kness into your chest then push off the wall on your side with streamline dolphin kick! Take atleast 3 strokes before breathing out of your turn! Do 5 strokes off the wall if you can!
