How To Do A Freestyle Flip Turn - 5 Step Guide

Take your swimming to the next level...start doing flip turns!

MY GOSH!! For a girl who is learning to swim solely on YouTube instructions, this was the best one I have ever watched....and I've watched a ton! The best part as to why so you know going forward, is that you repeat the visual constantly...It is so helpful to not have to stop and rewind to see it again....visual repeating is great!

Hello, I’m 47, plump, not super fit but I LOVE swimming. I’ve wanted to learn how to do tumble turns (as we call them in England) for years. Watched this video, went for a swim today and tumble-turned every length! I felt like a frickin’ superhero! Thank you so much!

This guy gives the most detailed explanations. You're amazing

[marycutting]

YES! Finally some real help - especially the repeated visuals and instructions. Steps are clear, drills are clear, tips are clear. My problem is going to be that I've been doing flip turns wrong for so long... I see LOTS of drills in my future. Thank you - I know I'll watch this over and over.

Flip turns were the reason I quit swim team in high school! Now I'm going to master it for real, 10 years later

I've been stagnating for so long on this flip turn. This is extremely well explained. I will put into practice right away and I'm sure I'll see the improvements soon. Thanks a lot

I can see why we have many talented athletes. Your detailed step by step instructions make it easy to remember, execute and improve even at 77.

I initially used a swim noodle, grab each end of the noodle with each hand pretend you are jumping over the noodle-like jump rope. This is how I started and in no time I was flipping. I then put the noodle aside and pretended to do the same thing only without the noodle. Also, I had to learn to continue breaking out during the flip this stop the water from getting up my nose. This was a big tip from my lifeguard.

I’m so excited to practice my flip turns with this video. Excited and it also feels a little daunting at the same time. I swam competitively from the age of 7-14, and now I’m 28. I took a 13 year hiatus…..so I’m doing a lot of fine tuning of my skills right now! All about patience.

Outstanding break down. I can’t wait to try it out. — John (age 71)

Best flip turn video out there. Wish I had watched something like this when I was learning flip turns. It's so well broken down.

This is great. Doing backstroke flip turns has massively helped me. I used to do freestyle turns where my feet found the wall AFTER I'd turned. Doing backstroke flips helped me land my feet better

I learned how to do these with my Coach last week and wish I had seen this before. Always the best explantions on this channel.👍

[photographybya]

So much useful info in just 16 minutes! Very organized. Great job.

[motymora]

Great explanation! I tried and applied the techniques....Oh Gosh! it works! Now I enjoy swimming. Thanks

[gabrielinton]

Finally tried this today and started doing flip turns! Thanks for the clear instructions. Definitely helping endurance already as I was always taking breaks at the wall out of habit.

[graysee]

I’ve been really wanting to learn how to do this but, I just didn’t know how far away from the wall I had to be. This helped a lot! Thank you!

There's nothing like an 'old school' whiteboard to reinforce the acquisition of a skill, especially for 'visual' learners. Nice one. I'll be trying this out ASAP.

[SilasFisher-rm]

This is by far the best video I've seen on flip turns. Thank you!

Thanks for mentioning the breathing and humming! No one does that in their videos.
