how to freestyle flip turn (front crawl )

Below we show how to make the turn in freestyle. The turn is the rotation of the body effected by the pool in order to resume swim faster. At the entrance of the turn in freestyle, the rotation of the body must begin at the right distance from the pool, a distance that varies depending on the speed of the swimmer: the higher is the speed, higher must be the distance.





Once arrived at the right distance, the swimmer will have to make a dolphin kick and, meanwhile, drop his head and bring his chin toward the chest.






Bring the legs toward the wall and rotate body quickly, being careful to stop the rotation of the turn when torso is in a horizontal position. Try to avoid turning your hips. The feet hits the wall and the hands stay togheter






Push off the wall on one side...











...and perform only after screwing (in while you are gliding after pushing the wall of the pool). The body continue the rotation






Go out with dolphin kicks in apnea until the swim speed you intend to have once finished the turn
