Using the wall for leverage can help some swimmers develop a faster open turn.

Why do it:
Using the plant hand to help you spin into a fast turn can get you ready for a great push more quickly.

How to do it:
1 - Have the swimmer kick in to the wall with the plant hand extended.
2 - When they make contact with the wall, allow the arm to collapse and have the head move close to the hand.
3 - Push back on the hand causing the body to push backward. This is also a good body stabilization exercise.
4 - After the swimmer feels the press of the hand, have the swimmer use the plant hand to help SPIN the body into the turn.

How to do it really well (the fine points):
Obviously, you'll move this forward to a two hand touch, but with the same focus. Start to increase the speed of the spin, and eventually move to a breaststroke or butterfly full stroke turn.
