the only vid we should be watching is Michael Phelp's flipturn. That, and a good coach, are all one needs. This is rubbish. My son is 8 and if he did a turn like this, I'd yell at him.
Lol, what was that? Reminded me of a front flip straight. This is why i hate looking up videos on youtube for help with my technique. they're all idiots who think they can swim and decide to "instruct" others with their incorrect form.
For triathlon swimmers this might do, especially if they aren't familiar with doing flip turns. So it's not "FAST" by any means, but if they have to swim 2 miles, they could benefit from a voice over on how this could be beneficial. It's definitely better than an open turn. Now Don Schollander would probably feel differently. It would be interesting to hear what Doc Counsilman thinks.
What the heck was that hahaha. I teach swimming and have been a competitive swimmer for over 9 years, that was soo wrong. Her feet came straight over her head, she like flipped onto her stomach before even getting all the way to the wall, and that must have looked hilarious for someone out of the water watching xD Gotta love YouTube.
did I just saw a flip turn that denies all the purpuse of the flip turn O_O omg she is so far away from the wall... how can she expect getting power for the push and do a sweet and long streamline... the hell !
Wow, i have never come across a site where all the comments are posted by wankers! You all must be triathletes. Next time please expand on your comments and tell us all how awesome you really are...
well no offense but my tunrs are ten times faster than that. but you have a great start just tuck your head and knees together more and you will be great. good luck
Same as my turn, which is no better than "decent".....and I cannot seem to figure out what to do to avoid that delay just before the push off the wall......(?????).....Damn!
What the ..... You call that a tumble turn!!! My Grandmother can do better!!! By the way that is not fast swimming!!! I train so i know what i mean!!!
I have to say this is worse then my flip turn...... This doesn't even look like a flip turn!!!! I watched this like 50times and I am like WHAT?!?!? I am trying not to be mean but I think u need to work on it.... I am on a swim team and mine isn't the best and I still have things to work on.... And so do you.
One major error here, easily fixed: As you start the flip, you're arching your back to get the legs over, rather than contracting your stomach muscles (like doing a situp). You're extending (arching) the back rather than flexing (curling) it. Result is that when you plant your feet on the wall, you've got to wait for your spine to get lined up straight again before you can pushoff. Significant mistake, but again, easily fixed. Think curling into a ball rather than arching your back.
There are few problems with her turns. First, you should tuck your chin inward with head down including a dolphin kick with hands to your side to initiate the kick. She does dolphin kick with correct hands position but with 45 degree head position. Secondly, she needs to be patient to let her body turn by bending knees alittle during turn (seeing knees). In her case, she whips her legs (extending them) early trying to feel the wall quickly. Third coming off the wall, start with dolphin kicks.
@clusterbeam No... I used to be a swimmer and I used to do these turns all the time in a race..... not in butterfly or breaststroke offcourse.... for them I used to do a simple turn around...
so damn true... another video like this, my coach, me, and some of the team one day at practice we were watching it and my coach clicked it and when we watched it, he was like,"oops... sorry..." and we were all saying, "Oh, this is really fast!" and "oh yeah i wish i could flipturn like that," and we were all laughing because it's very slow.
if yur looking for a demonstration on flip turns dont bother watching this. Just swim in close to the wall and do a forward roll with a strong push. Then use butterfly legs not frontcrawl. This is a bad video.
@StarSttruck you don't wanna get too close to the wall though cause then you will spend most of your energy pushing off, you want a fast flip where you don't need to bend your knees to much or too little. And keep your legs shoulder with apart. And she sorts of bends back, with her hands pointing down.
She should bend more her knees and upper body when flipping. She also tries to straighten her body too early and because of that her body is in awkward position where it's impossible to use effectively the strength of mid-body and leg muscles for pushing off the wall. Look how much time is wasted in that point and how weak is her push off... Needs more practice!! :)
wrong posture, kness not closed enough to the nose, hands should not be used for flipping. there is videos of "how to swim competitive freestyle: how to do flip turn". it is much better
that was not good at all. sorry. the swimmer should have more power in their legs when they push off. And should turn from the back to forward later on in stream line or else u waste time.
If tweaking like doing it sooner than later and the other blablabla below, she has turned without stopping. If she has to practice is OK. BUT SHE DID IT. So, to me sounds great and will master it with more practice, period. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM PLEASE, not stupid comments without positive suggestions from experts.
lol if you are doing a proper flip turn your whole body shoujld be facing upward for about a second or 2 once you push of and you flip over to your stomach then do several dolphin kicks.. at least thats what i was taught at FAST ( fullerton aquadics sports team )
she tried to twist too early. mind you though flip turns are very hard and you have to work very hard to get them right. Going deep with dolphin kick helps. Look at Phelps, he wins his races partly coz he goes so far and deep underwater.
Why is everyone so harsh? At least be a bit supportive rather than being so negative? Because its not exactly a good motivation when everyone is saying "It was shit"
