my coach tells me i have to do a flip turn and also three strokes before i breathe. i find this ridiculously hard and can only do it on the first set. should i not be breathing out of my nose during flip turns. how can i do this w/o almost drowning

[DcCornnnnn]

Are you a fish? :O

@junkevin

Humming will have the same effect as breathing out your nose.(Try it seriously)

The strokes before breathing is just something you have to get used to it is to stop over rotation when you come out of the turn. Sorry!

@junkevin

Yeah, that's really hard. But when I do it, I do breathe out of my nose specially the somersault portion to prevent any water going through my nose. At least that's what I do. I don't know how to prevent it without breathing out.

Best demo.

The most thing that we have to learn is how to avoid getting watet up the nose but still we're learning silly turning movements underwater.its easy but keeping water to get up the nose is too hard and ppl wants to learn it ..

[oskunshier]

Is it true that you are not suppose to breathe past the flags? I've been told that is correct but I am unsure.
