When I swam in High School touch and go turns were not allowed. I took over 20 years off from swimming and the one thing that seems to be taking forever to get back is a decent flip turn. The only reason I want to practice it is because it is nice to see the times comes down - great for the ego.Martin Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275632714304847645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173980355286110901.post-5975512740319277132010-03-25T05:37:30.937-07:002010-03-25T05:37:30.937-07:00Martin

At my master swim WOD we practice this every once in a while. It has paid off for me in addition to having a better streamline. I am also trying to work on not taking my first stroke until I reach the flags. In order to do that you need to have a good flip turn coupled with a great streamline.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10400764395705728876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173980355286110901.post-75765619089242390962010-03-25T04:53:04.891-07:002010-03-25T04:53:04.891-07:00Turns, wow - that has always been on my list of th...Turns, wow - that has always been on my list of things to learn.
