How to do a Flip Turn- Jamie Smith

Swim freestyle (the normal one on your stomach) into the wall. Breathe about three strokes away tom the wall. When you are about one stroke away, use this stroke to pull down and forward into a somersault, keeping your head down and tucked into your body. Use your arms to somersault your body until your feet hit the wall. During the somersault, blow bubbles out of your nose to avoid getting water up your nose. As soon as your feet hit the wall, bend your knees and push off as hard as you can. While pushing off, twist from your back to your stomach. Make sure to put your arms in a tight streamline (put both arms over your head with one hand on top of the other and squeeze your ears with your arms). Also, once you are off the wall, kick your legs as fast as you can, accelerating up to the surface. Once you reach the surface, resume swimming, but do not breathe the first stroke.
