Freestyle flip turn in 3 steps
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
It is possible to learn the flip turn in one day, and Marianna is the proof. She had never done a flip turn before and after just one hour of practice, now she can. Just like her you just need patience, practice and maybe a nose clip.
As you probably know, the flip turn in freestyle helps you change directions quickly without having to slow down. This is a beginners guide on the fundamentals of a flip turn and we will go over more advanced tips on a future video.
We will do this flip turn tutorial in three steps.
*The first thing you need to know is that you need a good amount of air in your lungs to do the flip turn, for two reasons: you will blow out bubbles through your nose and you will push off the wall and move a few meters without breathing.
First step - Flip
So before going to the wall practice doing a flip turn in the middle of the pool. Take a good breath and pretend that you want to kiss your knees. So burry your head underwater while you bring your knees close to your chest. Remember that you need to blow bubbles through your nose while you are upside down or else water will enter your nose. You can also use a nose clip to learn the movement and that way you don’t have to worry about many things at once. Also to speed up the turn, use your arms to push you forward and then to push water down so you can speed up the turn. Do several front flips until you can do them in a straight line.
Now before your body flips completely stretch yourself into a tight streamline. You will end face up. do that a few times. No to finish the movement twist your body after you are stretched out in a streamline so you end face down. Do that a few times so your body learns the movement.
Step two - Landing.
The next thing you need to master is getting your feet to the wall in the correct position. The correct position is a few inches underwater in line with your body. If you push with your feet on the surface you will aim down and you will push downwards. If your feet are too deep you will aim up and you will push right up to the surface. So practice approaching the wall from the flags or a few steps behind and flip when you see the line where the floor meets the wall. Don’t push off yet. We are your practicing the landing.
Step three - Turn
Now that you have mastered the landing is time to move on to the turn. Since you will end facing up you need to turn face down again. This is what you need to do: push off in a streamline while you twist your torso slightly. This will put you in the right position to do freestyle again!

Thank you for showing someone who is actually LEARNING instead of just an already accomplished flip-turner!!! I learned more by watching her than i did in three other videos showing swimmers doing it smoothly! Good job, Mariana - you inspired me!
I can alrdy feel the water shooting up my nose lol

As you flip, blow out. When I learn my coach had me just stay at the wall and flip find threshold to blow out
(I coach Masters) One of the most important steps in the flip turn I see novices neglect, and coaches neglect to mention, is throwing water up over the head. This accelerates the tumble and places the hands above the head, prepared for streamline. My coach, decades ago, referred to this move as "splashing cold water from a sink onto the face." It's difficult to describe but you can see the author do it here at 0:50 and again at 1:53. Rather, I see amateurs and even Masters level swimmers who started swimming as adults, put the arms out wide like airplane wings and twirl them in an effort to tumble at the wall. The author here does the maneuver well but never mentions that he is doing it in the video.

Holy crap, I was a competitive swimmer for 7 years and I have literally never heard anyone talk about this
Good luck guys, it took me almost 2 years to learn to flip turn properly, it takes a lot of courage and patience and endurance and effort, but trust me guys, keep working at it, it is so worth it :)))
I am really slow on my team. One of the slowest. This really helps me because I am one of the fastest on my team for freestyle. I use to miss the wall and not even be able to do a flipturn. Thank you this really helps.

Thank you so much for this instructional video. It makes it so much easier to learn while watching others practice.
This is a great video. It helped a lot to see both the movements of the expert and of the beginner. And, as you say, I got the basics going in an hour of practice, starting from zero. Thanks a lot.
I love your channel. so useful for me. also the way you make videos ,music you choose for every video , even its time is so perfect and good.wish you the best !
Thank you! I absolutely love doing flip turns because it is so calming.
You are Brilliant, Man!!!! Steps explained so clearly, thank you
You are so amazing! I get so much from your videos! I am a beginning swimmer and need all the help I can get. Thank you!
Very clear explanation. The steps make it easier to learn.
I’ve tried this several times and it worked.nice tutorial
Thank you so much for this vídeo. I am 34 years old and had never swimmed in my life. It’s been full 6 months 3x a week and I just learned the flip turn in one day following these steps :D
Atleast someone cares about the breathing parts, almost every flip turn video forgets about this essential thing. Thanks for mainly talking about this, helps a lot :) .
The best swimming training channel ever ❤️❤️
Just watching this video reminds me how much I miss swimming everyday. I loved doing freestyle flips! So much fun.
In admiration!! Keep it up please! It's the way to go!!!
Thank you for this! Ice perfected my free style but my turn wasn’t very experienced with this video I can now do it easily.
Thank you very much! I am a beginner swimmer who learns from your videos, and today I did the flip turn corectly 🌹
재밌게 보고 있습니다. 많이 배울수 있어 좋네요. 응원합니다.
I need this since I got scolded by my coach
Great clarity to the incremental steps required to achieve this skill, well done and thanks
Great video, by far the hardest part for me still is getting the timing right and not blowing all of my air as I flip through. Thanks for posting.

Thank you ❤❤❤
Awesome work thanks for sharing
One trick that is older than me, and dirt, is a small dolphin kick to help initiate the flip. Only video that mentioned it was by a trathlete trainer.... Of course when I told the lifeguards at my pool about that, most of them were like "you really never knew that????"
such a nice feeling when I get it right 😊
Thanks to your video, I can butterfly. Thank you so much,good luck🌹
While I was at the pool, I watched this video and learnt how to flip, now I need to learn landing and turn so that I can pick up the pace 😁
Tried it out today. Still have to work on the balance while pushing off the wall though. But taking baby steps :) Thanks a ton! ❤
Thank you so much
Nice tutorial guys will try it out 👍👍👍
I'll try this next time
Very good tips. Tnx!

Thank you... Im following the same practice... N.. Im quite successful..😊
Thank you for good advise
I took an enormous time to learn this skill. The reason behind was, I practiced this always without a nose clip and ended up with lot of water inside my nostrils. I would highly recommend this to practice with a nose clip on and once you reached at a comfortable point after learning remove the nose clips. This will help for sure. 👍 video !
Thx! I will try it.
Good job Marianna
