How Not To Do A Flip Turn

[Sc0ttynzl]

its not that bad, u are all wankers for dissing this guy

[sxystar41]

@Sc0ttynzl Everyone isn't laughing about the flip turn... it's pretty good for a beginner but not perfect... it's how slow he is swimming.... 46 seconds to do one lap is HORRIBLE a non swimmer or my grandma can do it faster... LOL

[xoJamisonnnn]

it clearly states how NOT to do a flipturn....

[kaipakchan]

Give this guy a break. It is not that bad. For those who really want to learn: he made two mistakes: 1. He started the flip too late, therefore was too close to the wall and cannot push off effectively. 2. He slowed down before the turn, and therefore did not carry enough momentum to complete the turn smoothly.

[sxystar41]

No offense..... my 6 year old brother can swim faster than you and he's like half of your size....

[thunderaar]

wasn't even that bad. Seen much worse.

[tetedepoulet]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[DragonNoirification]

Based on the title of the video, I was expecting this to be a really ugly video with the guy crashing headfirst into the wall or something. But really, the flip turn wasn't all that bad. He did a flip, then he pushed off the wall. That is the proper way to do a flip turn, even if it wasn't as smooth as a pro-athlete, it was still legal and overall not too shabby.

[TheTriathlonFreak]

hahaha, not very efficient:D

[RichardDawkin]

his left foot gives of Depth Charges

[riglol]

sick pool

[xaimeeXP]

That turn wasn't so bad. Just needs a bit more speed and start turning slightly further out. Great stuff for a non-competitive swimmer :)

[Valerie40066]

haven't you haters noticed that the title is how NOT to do a flip turn........if you're expecting to see something good. now you know two things. that is how NOT to do a flip turn and you were dumb enough to think that he was going to be like michael phelps

[barath4545]

Ok so he got close to the wall, but it doesnt look like that "pool" has any stripes in the bottom so maybe he just took a stroke too much, happens. I would be more worried about his technique, damn!

[hydroshock56]

.... it looks better than kids on my high school team :)

[baddmanaz]

i was worried he might hit his head on the wall.

[xJ3FFR3Y]

WHY WOULD YOU POST A VIDEO OF A MAN DROWNING, who ever was filming this shoulda dropped the camera and saved him before he hurt himself!!!!!

[fillywithflavour]

i want to learn that but its hard to judge the distance in the pool and im afraid i will get too close to the wall :/

[YourLoveGrace]

@fillywithflavour its quite simple like usually theres a T like shape on the pool floor so if you have one thats what you look for in arms length away...my coach tells me its your best friend in swimming lol take note im on the 6th grade swim team only not an adult lol so when you get to curl up like a pop corn cornel and try as hard as you can to flip you may or may not get it right away but when you do your like dangg it was that easy...i just learned and and i have a meet this week yay lol

[bobxcski]

Lighten up on this poor guy...yeah, his flip turn sucks...but it says "how NOT to do a flip turn"...the dude is a friend of mine...he is a good skier...he may soon be doing a ski vid for redemption...

[Rac1ng4Live]

I want such an pool :P

[michielgrillet]

"that is so wrong", "that guy can't swim for shit"... You crack me up, the video says how NOT to do a flip turn, what did you expect :D

This guys flipturn is better than the processes going on in the brains of a lot of people here.

[GirlHotties]

This video should be called "How not to swim" or "How to drown".

[TheMoldySmores]

supercider1, shut up



[Killjoyxtrm]

nice. you know, the faster you go the faster you flip.

just an idea......

no insult intended

[BiHbullet]

hahahhahahahhahah

[ham0ingen0kender]

that is sooo wrong...

[M1cha31J]

now that was a productive video.

[mkifyousayso]

I hope no one got dragged under by the wake. He was going so obnoxiously fast.

[ionutzz02]

U just gotta breath out all of ur air be4 u get at the surface.It's all about lung capacity here xD

[Rac1ng4Live]

The pool looks nice... I want one in my garden :P

[EscarneoExquisito]

@Rac1ng4Live

Yeah the guy of the video isnt a competitive swimmer, but at least he do a sport and that is good.

BUTTT that pool, That pool is fuckin great for a house, you can swim very good...

Some if I get enought money I will do a pool like that.

[chrisevilmonkey]

i am going to report this video for wastin 46 seconds of my life

[goldchamp71]

@chrisevilmonkey you don't have a life, so what was wasted? at least this guy is doing something

[chrisevilmonkey]

@goldchamp71

so is ur mom

[MajorsLegend]

Heh I know a beter way to swim fast when turning at the end point back to the beggining

[death4351]

reminds me of the first week i started swimming at 12 years old lmfao

[Amine6076]

hilarious

[mikeya34]

Hey i swim faster than that and thats how i do my flipturns

[JoeMcDanger]

this video is obviously a joke chill out. i think its hilarious

[roxielove4]

such a slow swimmer!

[Louis4357]

very very nice pool.....but my grandma can swim faster than that

[junkevin]

lmao he goes side to side when swimming

[pianodude76]

horrible swimmer...

[AntoineVick]

hahahaha no mames haha

[filterguy2525]

Does the depth of the pool have anything to do with it? I don't even try to flip turn in shallow pools, and this one looks to be 4 feet deep or so, judging from him standing up in the beginning.

[ghitens07]

@filterguy2525 it makes no difference in a worst way

[chepurociel620]

Of course bad, but in my opinion it's good that amateur tries to do flip turn generally. Some young guys from my club (10-11 years old) do flip turns as this man, and they go to a competition. You know - keep practise, and you're gonna be the best :)

[MikNbr]

that guy needs help! he's doing all wrong

[limeRAYY]

lmfao

[supercider1]

People, he is clearly not a competitive swimmer, so who cares if you can do better? It's great that he's working out and working on his overall fitness. I'm only 16 but I still enjoy swimming non competitively. Currently trying to teach myself the flip turn, because I don't have a coach and don't want one. Leave the poor guy alone!

[Redxkingz]

@supercider1 I agree with you, but about the turn, it's not that hard, I learned it when I was 7, and the only thing I remember of it was, that I only had to do it once and then I got it. If you want to do a perfect turn, the you have to practice years and years and you still won't have a perfect turn. So just swim alot and the turn goes with it, try some faster/slower turns and you'll get used to the water wich is the best thing for a competitve swimmer.

[malasud]

man u swim worst than a pig.. so fraking slow..

[Lys9339]

you people are lame, he's clearly not a competitive swimmer so quit trying to show off with the "tips" and "time drops".. you sound stupid

[baddestskip94]

this pool is pointless you cant even jump in without hitting the side

[ilovethisvideo741]

... wtf is this? that guy took 14 secs just to get out of that little corner?.... i can swim a 25 in that kind of time...

[TheNocturnalPrincess]

it's a dane cook reference. stands for bad ass mofo

[TheNocturnalPrincess]

OMG BAMF

[TheNocturnalPrincess]

yeah fail. haha. umm...someone should tell this man that he should fix his kick...

[travisblue52]

@TheNocturnalPrincess ka-CHUNK! pause, ka-CHUNK! pause ka-CHUNK.  I think hes got 1 foot stuck in a bucket? maybe hes under house arrest w an ankle bracelet?

[TheNocturnalPrincess]

@travisblue52 maybe one leg is paralyzed?

[meltedsack421]

wow im sorry but i am five years younger thana that i have only been in swimming 4 like two months and i could beat that guy at every stroke

[violinmac]

looks like one of my flip turns....dag blast it!

[pickedaname]

ok forget the flip turn.... if you don't quit whipping your arms outward you are going to hurt yourself. Another shoulder-killer: You should not be taking that stroke on your none-breathing side while you are in a breathing position. Also, you are crossing over (meaning hands in front of you are crossing over your center line). You need to extend out more,keep your feet closer together and keep your elbows higher than your hands. Keep swimming....

[Migvill]

he wasnt swimming right...lol

[martaanna1971]

Maybe he has had tough night. Some crazy celebration, drinking to excess etc:) After such nights workout can be painful (ROTFL)

[THEwiserDUCKY]

I'm faster then him! I did 50 metres in 42seconds and I can do a turn properly!

[krnboii93]

Hey thats how i looked like when i did my first one lol. To bad the first time i did one was in a school swim meet? fail lol

[chris13954]

i can do that =]

[aznsy1]

wow it took him 45 sec to swim a 25 ....... i can almost swim a 100 by then

[marcobrott]

are you eamon sullivan, amaury leveaux, alain bernard or one of these?? ;)

[bubbathelubba]

he wasnt sprinting...

[aznsy1]

i knw that, but still. 45 seconds isnt exactly a fast practice speed either.... our coach makes us do 50s on 32.... he did a 25

[bubbathelubba]

maybe hes endurance training

[aznsy1]

endurence means good technique, and thats really slow, even for endurence

[bubbathelubba]

maybe hes already been swimming for 3 days straight and hes getting kinda tired

[aznsy1]

i doubt that

[learoydbrown]

congratulations

would u like a medal

[martaanna1971]

Hi, I wanted to press the button "a good comment" (thumb up) but by mistake I clicked the other option. Sorry. I love your comment! It is so witty!

[fluffytom82]

and the new world record is 47s... I'd like to see you doing 100m in 45s :)

[aznsy1]

no.. its not. i go 46.48, world reacord is not in the 47s trust me, maybe in meters, but im talking yards.

[PR0LIFE]

hahahhaa 46.48

bullshit

[christianblaney]

was that him actually trying to show a 'negative' example of the turn, or was that the best he could do. It really looked natural for him...

[SLIM24lok]

It didn't just look natural, it looked like he tried his hardest.. LOL

[SLIAEVRERCAK]

my first season of mod girls swim i won all of my meets in first place my best my first season was 2:36 then my second season idr but this year im goin into varsity cuz imma be in 9th so hopefully ill get my time down to about 1:59 like that 1 dude lol

[swimfan31]

your sick man! go try basketball, maybe you'll be better at it. forget swimming at all!!

[cesarcheer1]

and the technical??

[JACH4Productions]

haha wow!

[wardster10]

Could he kick ANY slower.

Infact could he SWIM any slower

[SLIAEVRERCAK]

i could beet that guy in a 200 anyday of the week

[droopy0093]

how fast do you do a 200??

[BriannProduction]

I do it in 1:59 -.-

[droopy0093]

2:06.... >[

[BriannProduction]

Hahah, its alright

[Moneyman873]

Are we talking SCM, LCM...or SCY?

[gnemick]

my favorite part is when he first pushes off underwater and gets absolutely nowhere! ha what a joke

[amerikanerMarinen]

Good job, sir. You just need to be a little further from the wall. If there's a "T" at the end of the line your pool, try to take just one stroke after the "T" and then flip. That should help greatly if you haven't already figured it out.

Great swimming.

[egyNOOBIE]

he is dieing or wat o.0 lol look how big is he and i can swim dive and flip beter than him and am jus 13 and all these things i learnt this year and really without any tutions i jus lokk at my frends who are pro at swimming and try to activate it my slef and finally they said u can swim though its not that amazing..

[TehNoobBowl]

Speaking of being 13, you can't spell for shit.

[egyNOOBIE]

dude shut the fuck up!!! i write really fast and i mean fast!! not like u comas and capital leters as if we are at ENGLISH!! duh:S

[TehNoobBowl]

Yeah, okay, I can type fast and use the right grammar.

[rebutank94]

Same. You are retarded for real.

[amerikanerMarinen]

We speak English so you should use the correct grammar for it. You can't spell, use punctuation, or the right words. Now as for swimming, no, you can't swim. You cannot "activate" swimming. You do have to have training. I see little 4 year olds who can swim. There's a certain way to keep your elbows, a way to breathe, when to breathe, how to kick, how to butterfly kick before a flip turn, how to swoop into finish etc. You, little kid, cannot do that. I can tell by the ignorance of your comment.

[InsanePuppy11010]

I did not under stand a single word you just attempted to type... I mean at least try to spell things right and use the most basic of grammar skills. You wrote a huge run on sentence... shame on you.

[bschierloh]

and youre great at spelling too

[pliktoblik]

*And you're great at spelling too.

[asdrubalex]

his arms were a bit iffy.... when flipping they should be on your side not like on mars

[mcoope88]

there's nothing wrong with that flip turn, you just need to make it faster

[jessie19951125]

actually he flipped backwards but it took me some time to figure it out though

[bleakilla]

LOL THAT WAS fcking jokes

[rettegen]

that was a slowmo'?!

[patsredcel]

he really needs to practice hes swimming it is really slow and looks like crap.

[Jayanit]

lol. i thought he was never going to make it to the wall in time before the video finishes

[PinkOnigiri]

LoL I thought the same before I read your comment.  HAHAhaa

[jessie19951125]

omg i thought that 2 hes 2 slow

[sosickboy123]

lol the freestyle is all wrong no high elbows

[martaanna1971]

@Jayanit It is the most hilarious comment I have read here:) I love your sense of humor!!!

[Kaarle15]

@Jayanit haha my thoughts exactly! :D

[Twisaganetwork]

@Jayanit OMG SAME HERE

[XwAvEsX57]

i dont get it what did he do that was wronge?

[buttflasher]

It's not that bad at all. Just remember to have both arms down by the sides of your body when you approach the wall.

[mimichong]

nice swimming poool(;

[vaginaradiactiva]

+1

I wish I had something like that

[DoctorEllie123]

okay? ha.

[stupidusernamething1]

that was a slow swim

[Natellielynn25]

well named title.

[dragonvslvr]

that flip turn is better than mine lol

[avrilover247]

he crosses his arms over too much when he swims
