Can't do a single arm turn in breast stroke or butterfly because both hands have to touch the wall simultaneously or it is a disqualification.

This isn't just about breaststroke or butterfly. There are many swimmers who don't do flip turns. This is a way for those people to be more effective on their walls without having to do flips.

This is deceptively simple if one isn't comfortable being submerged face-up. Knowing the lip curling technique and being comfortable regulating air pressure helps a lot. I worked on that by pushing off face-down, then rotating more and more until I was face-up. Actually, at first I used a nose clip with it loose enough to allow me to exhale. After a short time I lost the clip but gained skill.
