Flip turns

All strokes

You roll into a small tuck, place your feet on the wall and push away in a long shape.

Keep in mind

  • Small tuck
  • Feet planted
  • Push long

Warm-up drills

Easy turn approaches

Practise an easy freestyle or backstroke wall approach with your coach checking the turn and push-off.

Ask the coach

Is my swimmer’s distance from the wall consistent before the turn?
