How swim like a vessel on water
MY GOSH!! For a girl who is learning to swim solely on KZread instructions, this was the best one I have ever watched....and I've watched a ton! The best part as to why so you know going forward, is that you repeat the visual constantly...It is so helpful to not have to stop and rewind to see it again....visual repeating is great!

Wow, as an instructor I've tried several ways watched many videos. This is the best. Especially liked jumping up an flipping and use of the kick boards. One thing I would find helpful when to time the last breath before flip. I usually I use the T but it can depend on the speed of the swimmer. What do you suggest?

@@JS-zr6qf Happy Swimming :) You should flip no closer than 1-arms length from the wall. If you're floating at the surface (not moving) with one arm up and finger tips at the wall, this is where you should be flipping. The faster you move, the further away from the wall you need to be. A very faster swimmer an initiate the flip 2-3 meters from the wall and carry momentum into the turn so they're flipping at the right spot. The more you practice, the better you get.

Hello, I’m 47, plump, not super fit but I LOVE swimming. I’ve wanted to learn how to do tumble turns (as we call them in England) for years. Watched this video, went for a swim today and tumble-turned every length! I felt like a frickin’ superhero! Thank you so much!

I initially used a swim noodle, grab each end of the noodle with each hand pretend you are jumping over the noodle-like jump rope. This is how I started and in no time I was flipping. I then put the noodle aside and pretended to do the same thing only without the noodle. Also, I had to learn to continue breaking out during the flip this stop the water from getting up my nose. This was a big tip from my lifeguard.

what did you say
This is great. Doing backstroke flip turns has massively helped me. I used to do freestyle turns where my feet found the wall AFTER I'd turned. Doing backstroke flips helped me land my feet better
I can see why we have many talented athletes. Your detailed step by step instructions make it easy to remember, execute and improve even at 77.

@3v11

A good drill I read somewhere else is to do 4 strokes before the flip and afterwards 4 strokes without breathing. So calmly do the whole thing, focusing on holding your breath primarily. It is extra hard at first, so you can start with 2 stokres/flip/2 strokes and move towards 4/flip/4. Helped me at least, as I also struggled with lack of air!

Thanks Teresa! I'd recommend paying attention to the black 'T' on the bottom of the pool. Once you start noticing trends of where your body needs to be in order to have enough space to flip, you can set a marker with that black 'T' and use that as your visual marker. Have a great swim!
Wish I'd found this sooner. Excellent thank you very much.

Great video and explanation.
Everything in this video is what I constantly tell my swimmers, especially the head up syndrome all too many swimmers do going into the wall. Upward lift of the head only causes downward and backward force. It kills momentum. Proper Hands position going into walls also super important and this video hits the movements perfectly. No whirlybirds there,just Head in, hands out, speed in, speed out. Finally, the off wall rotation is perfect. Think a ballerina pirouette as the push off has executed or a platform diver feet crossover to accelerate rotation, never rotate while still on the wall and before starting push off but rather as you have pushed off. You are never any faster then coming off blocks and walls. Don’t loose that advantage. Great video I will be sharing with my swimmers. Thanks Fares..
Great video, appreciate it.

Tried doing flip turns today before I saw this video. Was trying by pushing off from wall in streamline position then both arms at side. But found it really hard to initiate the turn with both arms at side, I would come out sideways. Then tried from vertical position, slightly better, I will try your 5 steps. Great informative video.
