How To Do a Tumble Turn | Top Tips with Olympic Swimmer Stephanie Rice

Hey Guys,

Here is another detailed video of my step-by-step guide to mastering the tumble turn, or as some people call it, a flip turn.
I've been teaching these for years and have noticed that some clients find it pretty overwhelming at the start, which is why I have broken this video up into stages.
Don't move to the next stage until you have comfortably mastered the previous stage. Also, don't be concerned if you get some water up your nose one the first few tries...that's normal. Just make sure you are blocking your nose or blowing air out your nose as your turn.
So try out these tips and I'm sure it will really help you improve or learn the tumble turn.

For even more tips or to dramatically improve your swimming fitness check out my 8-week, detailed swimming programs at:

Level 1 = 600m - 1.5km
Level 2 = 1.5km - 2.5km
Level 3 = 2.5km - 4km

I'd love to hear how you go with these tips, so please comment below so I can check in with you guys and also let me know if you have any questions.

I have watched more tumble turn instructional videos than I can count, and this is the first one that told me everything I wanted to know. All the details I needed were either shown well or explained well, or both. From the arm position on the flip to the dolphin kick at the start of the turn to the feet pointing slightly to one side, I finally feel like I have a good chance of getting it right the next time I hit the pool. Thank you for making this..

The bit that really help me, was the butterfly kick! Thank you. I can now reliably flip turn.

👍Make sure your blowing air out your nose as your flipping because if water flows into your nose it will sting like if you gotten punched in the nose.

The underwater dolphin kick is really beautiful! 👍

[johnmatelski]

she makes it look so easy!! two tips I noticed that I'll try is a. the dolphin kick to start the flip and b. both arms are 100% at her side when she starts the flip, which means her arms don't really move but end up in streamline after the flip... this looks really nice!

Not extending legs early was a GREAT tip. I always wondered why I go to the bottom of the pool when I push off the wall.

This video was very helpful. I watched a lot of videos about flip turns, but none mentioned the somersault stage 2 technique niether the dolphin kick before the turn.
