Open turn technique | Breastroke turn | Butterfly turn | Individual Medley turns

Open turns technique tutorial.
While swimming butterfly, breastroke or individual medley, there are three things to do for fast open turns.

1- One arm
2- Second arm with head
3- Feet

Both hands should touch the wall at the same time. One hand stays on the wall and the other goes back underwater. This movement of the arm along with the feet should rotate your body 45 degrees.

The second arm waits for the head to take a breath. Once you take a quick breath the hand goes out of the water and follows the head until it joins the other hand to make a tight streamline.

The feet are the most important here. You need to bring your feet sideways to the wall as fast as possible. To do this you need to bend your knees as soon as the hands touch the wall. If you want to be really fast, hide one foot behind the other.

At this point you should be with your feet on the wall, ready to push. Your chest should be pointing to one side of the pool. Now, push sideways as hard as you can and rotate the other 45 degrees during the tight streamline.

There is a slight variation if you are doing a butterfly to backstroke turn. Instead of rotating during the turn, just bring your feet from underneath and push facing up.

Great video, as we are used to from Skills NT Swimming. Always neat and clear. Thank you guys 👌🏻🏊🏻 SWIM FAST!

[Alex-krzr]

As an open water swimmer, I always find turning is the hardest part of pool swimming, especially the breathing. Great to learn that there is the open turn, as I was freestyling my turn so far, with moderate success.

[paulcheong]

wow can't wait to practise ...Thanks

[AdnanKhurshidTI]

As usual a great video, and yes, it would be nice to know the best way to transition from back to breast

[SofiaTheSacredSiren]

I had no idea this was a thing! I sort of naturally started doing it as I swim with a snorkel due to sinus issues!

[josedejesusgallegosarredon]

Thank you very much for the video. i hope the other video, :)

[mikiecat]

really helpful! can't wait to try it, specially the one of back to breast

[stevewalker]

My equilibrium has always been a problem making the flip turn nearly impossible. I will watch your videos since they help. Let's see how I do.

OPEN TURNS
뒤쳐 돌기(open turns)

2
00:00:14, 590 --> 00:00:21, 746
While swimming butterfly, breaststroke or individual medley, there are three things to do fast open turns.
접영, 평영, 혹은 개인혼영을 할 때, 뒤쳐 돌기(open turns)를 빠르게 하려면 세 가지에 관심을 두어야 합니다.

3
00:00:21, 834 --> 00:00:23, 561
1 - One arm
2 - Head + arm
3 - Feet
1 - 한 팔
2 - 머리 + 팔
3 - 발

4
00:00:23, 876 --> 00:00:27, 186
Both hands should touch the wall at the same time.
두 손이 동시에 벽에 닿아야 합니다.

5
00:00:27, 387 --> 00:00:32, 510
One hand stays on the wall and the other goes back underwater.
한 손은 벽에 대고 있고, 다른 손은 물속으로 되돌립니다.

6
00:00:33, 423 --> 00:00:38, 851
This movement of the arm along with the feet should rotate your body 45 degrees.
두 발과 팔의 움직임으로 몸통은 45도 돌아가야 합니다.

7
00:00:40, 452 --> 00:00:42, 572
2 - Arm + Head
2 - 팔 + 머리

8
00:00:42, 747 --> 00:00:45, 650
The second arm waits for the head to take a breath.
숨을 들이쉴 때까지 벽에 댄 팔은 머리를 기다립니다.

9
00:00:46, 384 --> 00:00:55, 328
Once you take a quick breath the hand goes out of the water and follows the head until it joins the other hand to make a tight streamline.
일단 재빨리 숨을 들이쉰 후에는 팔을 물 위로 하여 머리를 따라가 반대쪽 손과 합쳐져 꽉 조인 흐름선(streamline, 流線) 자세를 취합니다.

10
00:00:57, 921 --> 00:01:01, 598
3 - Legs
3 - 다리

11
00:01:01, 661 --> 00:01:05, 847
You need to bring your feet sideways to the wall as fast as possible.
벽을 향해 두 발을 최대한 빨리 옆으로 당겨야 합니다.

12
00:01:06, 308 --> 00:01:11, 469
To do this you need to bend your knees as soon as the hands touch the wall.
그러기 위해서는, 두 손이 벽에 닿자마자 무릎을 구부려야 합니다.

13
00:01:12, 359 --> 00:01:16, 847
If you want to be really fast, hide one foot behind the other.
진짜로 빠르게 하고 싶다면, 한 발을 다른 발 뒤에 숨기십시요.

14
00:01:21, 033 --> 00:01:25, 573
At this point you should be with your feet on the wall, ready to push.
이 시점에 두 발은 벽에 붙어 밀어낼 준비가 되어 있어야 합니다.

15
00:01:25, 831 --> 00:01:29, 030
Your chest should be pointing to one side of the pool.
가슴은 수영장의 한쪽 벽을 향해 있어야 합니다.

16
00:01:29, 232 --> 00:01:32, 242
Now, push sideways as hard as you can.
이제, 최대한 강하게 옆으로 하여 밀고 나오십시요.

17
00:01:32, 353 --> 00:01:36, 572
And rotate the other 45 degrees during the tight streamline.
꽉 조인 흐름선(streamline, 流線) 자세를 취한 상태에서 나머지 45도를 도십시요.

18
00:01:37, 765 --> 00:01:42, 294
There is a slight variation if you are doing a butterfly to backstroke turn.
접영에서 배영으로 전환할 때는 약간 다릅니다.

19
00:01:43, 268 --> 00:01:49, 799
Instead of rotating during the turn, just bring your feet from underneath and push facing up.
도는 동안 회전하지 않고, 두 발을 그냥 아래로 끌고 와 누운 상태에서 밀고 나오십시요.

20
00:01:51, 623 --> 00:01:59, 499

Hey! That’s just great videos👍🏻
I have a question though:
My knees sometimes hurts when kicking. What can I do better?

[christopherrogers]

how to do and what is that spinning drill at the end of the video??

[lucasevans]

I want to learn the hard one. told us to leave a comment so here is the comment

[joshuawanza]

hi.. i would like to know the hardest way of flip turning

[snffin]

How to do the underwater twirl you did at the end of the video?

[patrickmurray]

Shouldn't your feet be apart when pushing off the wall?

[tonimuurman]

Does this work on invidual medley? I dont know how to do turning from backstroke to breaststroke. So is that good if I touch the wall, and make this turning?

[wbek]

Should't it be 90 degrees where it says 45 degrees?

[ryanting]

can u post video on how to do a dolphin kick underwater from diving start

[PeLuRu]

I have bad experiences with the fly to back turn. Hope deep should we submerge for the next backstroke leg after a butterdly one? I always find myself run out of air or drink some water during this transition. Any tips for this? Should I hold my breath during this or just release it and go back to the surface sooner compared to a normal back to back turn??
