Competitive Swim Training : Flip Turns
The most important part of a fast flip turn is attacking the wall. Most swimmers will slow down their stroke rate as they get closer to the wall. This is a bad habit most likely created in crowded pools where not getting hit by another swimmer is a factor.
It’s important to practice your turns in without anyone in your lane. Then you can really focus on the technique of the flip turn. Attacking the wall (increase the stroke rate), tight flip, immediate dolphin kick after the push off and going in and out in a straight line.
