Freestyle Flips Flips Flips Turn Drill

Friday June 17, 2005
If you've ever complained to your coach that you don't have enough time to work your turns, then you should be required to perform this drill AT LEAST a few times a day. First, because YOU have ample opportunites as a swimmer to work your turns on EVERY turn, and second, just for complaining to your coach, you should be punished. If you really work this drill, and, if you really fear doing this drill over and over again, you'll begin to focus on turns as something to be improved on, rather than gotten through.
