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!
I forget where it was in the forum, but about 6 months ago somebody posted a link to this video (and the series that follows it on youtube) making use of the foam noodles (finally a way to use the noodle that doesn't annoy me!) in drills to learn the turn:
