Great flip turns aren't just about the turn, but also about a solid, direct push off.

Why do it:
How you leave the wall will have direct impact on how fast you'll be swimming. Positioning your legs and body correctly will help you use all your power more effectively.

How to do it:
1 - Swim in like a normal flip turn.
2 - When your feet hit the wall, STOP and hold.
3 - Make sure you're body is in the position you want it in to push off.
4 - Once you've determined you're in the right position, push off into swimming.

How to do it really well (the fine points):
Joao flips DIRECTLY over on his turn, laying flat on his back. Once he knows he's planted his feet properly, he drives and rotates over for his dolphins and breakout.

He is extremely precise in all of his swimming, including this drill. Amazing swimmer!
