TURNS – Noodle Flip If you’ve always wanted to learn how to do a flip turn (and what swimmer doesn’t?), here’s a fun drill that is step #1 in the learning process. Over the next few weeks, we’ll present a five step sequence that will get you spinning and turning with ease, even if you thought you’d never be able to master this basic skill. Take your time with the process, have some fun with it. And in a few short weeks, people will be coming to you for lessons. When doing a flip turn, one of the most common mistakes that swimmers make is using their hands and arms. Using the hands and arms may feel like the right thing to do, but it actually slows down your rotation. It also causes you to pause before the push off so that you can get your arms back in a stream line. Your flip turns will be faster more efficient and actually easier if you take your arms out of the equation. Notice how this swimmer flips by using her abs rather than her hands, and how this puts her arms in perfect position to streamline when her feet hit the wall. And notice how she flips straight over rather than turning to one side. In this drill, you’ll be using a noodle to help you flip straight over and without using your hands. Remember! This is step one of a five-part sequence. This will seem pretty basic. But just try it and please trust us that this will lead to where you want to go. First, get a noodle. Many pools have these on deck for waterobics classes. But if not, you can find one at your local discount store for a couple of dollars. Stand in the shallow end of the pool and grab hold of the noodle at both ends. Take a big breath and get ready to exhale water through your nose. Push off the bottom of the pool and do a forward somersault inside the noodle. Try to go straight over and don’t let go of the noodle. Try not to pull back with the noodle or push down on it. Remember! Don’t use your hands to help you flip. After you flip, stand back up and get ready to try it again. Once you get the hang of this drill, try speeding it up. See how fast you can get around and get back on your feet. If your feet get caught in the noodle, you’ll need to tuck up into a tighter ball and hold your tuck until you get all the way around. If you can’t get all the way around, tuck your chin and look back between your legs as you start your somersault. think about sending your energy down and around rather than just down. if you’re holding just one end of the noodle when you stand up, you’re probably not going straight over. Hang on to the noodle with both hands, don’t let go. If you’re getting water up your nose, start exhaling before you start your somersault and then keep exhaling until you regain your feet. Try nose clips, if things get really bad. But most important, just try it. Stick with it and stay tuned for step two.
true gem..very informative
@1stcaspian – bring your legs tight against your chest, forming your body into a shape like a ball. This will allow it to spin faster. If you have other questions, visit the website and post there. There's a lot of helpful people who have been through what you're going through. Thanks.
I swam competitively in highschool and still uses my hands way too much. Actually I was taught to 'throw water behind my ears' with the hands during the flip to help me flip over faster. I'm a little confused right now. I need to revisit my local pool and try some flip turns again – it's been way too long and I miss the smell of chlorine every morning ๐
@theoneofeight – We also present other options for the turns at the website and on here. As you get back into things… don't forget to customize things for yourself. There's tons of info at the site, and a good community to help with questions you may come across as you refresh the old skills. Welcome back to the sport and have a great time.
@goswim098 I find that while somersaulting,water gets into my nose. I do vigorous exhaling to prevent that, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Would like some help
this is the best tutorial about flip turn i've ever saw
i swam in high school and learning flip turns was a nightmare for so many people (myself included). this is a BRILLIANT breakdown.
hmmm…. never been able to do it…but will try today with the noodle
thanks for the video
Can't wait to try this tomorrow. I've reduced my mile from 48 mins down to 32 by doing some sloppy open turn. Now with this technique I am confident I can trim off a few more minutes.
Fantastic video! I learn things a lot faster when I understand what *not* to do, and the clips of all the common mistakes really helped. Thank you so much to the volunteers who allowed themselves to be filmed messing up — it really helps the teaching process.
Thank you so much!
Tomorrow I have a test and we have to do somersaults!
Im like the only one who cannot do it
This has helped me alot.
Wish me luck
As a 32 year old man, I felt ridiculous in the pool with a big purple spongy noodle. I felt REALLY stupid coming to the surface, coughing up water on the first 12 attempts. But I stuck with it, and got it, even without the noodle. Thanks for the video! I've been wanting to be able to do this for years.
looks hard
@DRanaish They're all in order on our website. Go there and under the GoSwim Gold section… you'll find them.
his voice sounds like josh waitzkin's ๐ – great video!
iv tried to do the flip turn afew times but i always end up with a snout full of water ..its excruciating!!! after watching this ..i just might be brave enough to give it another shot…..someone told me to breathe out while turning but i always run out of air mid-turn and i have to dash for the surface!..maybe im not breathing deep enough….
@DRanaish or just search YouTube for "Swimming – Turns – Freestyle Flip Turn Step."
I am having trouble teaching someone to just do a somersault in the water. Any tips?
@nickmasta Have them start with a hop, or jump into the flip. Just one idea.
Can't please everyone. ๐ I'm good with 250 to 4. Thanks for the support. Much appreciated.
Hi! I started swimming about 4yrs ago when my kids were already a few years into their lessons. Sitting on the bench while they had their lesson just didn't make sense. I've taken lessons but have been practicing on my own for a while. I've been feeling like it's time to learn how to do a flip turn. I found your site almost immediately and value the step by step approach to learning. Today was day 1. I thought I was tucking my chin enough, but tried more and it made a huge difference. THANK YOU!
yea, i try to use my hands too…and actually used to touch the wall with one hand..the problem is ..I get dizzy..but, I will forgo some of the lane practices and start doing a proper flip turn…i still come on to the side…wish me luck…I have no patience with that needle.
What website would that be?
Thank you! I've watched other videos and still never could do a proper flip turn. But breaking the steps down into drills like this is easy for me to follow, and even after doing just the noodle drill I feel like I'm going to finally get the hang of this now.
Is there any substitute for the noodle? the pool I swim at does not allow noodles…
I can t seem to jump high enough to get my butt out of the water, any ideas or exercises to get better spring into the legs ???
I am 45 and did the same, water in the nose, eyes ,mouth and ears. I had a yellow noodle ๐
This was very helpful! our coach never mentioned the "keep your hands in the same position". But it makes so much sense! ill have practice it this way!!
Great series of videos! I have learned flip-turn in a couple of hours. Thank a lot for publishing it.
they can't do it,that's all
I plan to practice it with my dad next time we go to the pool together. I'm almost 30 and he's 61. This is going to be hillarious! ๐
That's great. Have a great time.
As long as you can grab both ends, give it a try. If that doesn't work, put a pull-buoy in each hand and use them separately. That should also do the trick.
How can I in a way sink into the water head first without having water go in my ears like how skip a divers fall in the water from boats back first when I do that water almost instantly goes in my ears and nose unless I plug with my fingers
@narutojose2 you should blow out from your nose as you flip. That way, the water that usually goes in your nose will be blocked. Please tell me if this helps you ๐ and anyone else who has questions about swimming… Ask me! I'm in a swim club so I'm pretty sure I am ok at swimming ๐
water goes up my nose though…
Elated I found this film.Love Youtube for this sort of info!!!
My best friend used to be bullied. He explained he was planning to get bigger muscle and strength.I chuckled at him. I didn't think he would for a second..Til without warning he gained 40 pounds of full-strength muscle mass.He used the Muscle Building Bible-look for it in Google.Nobody dares to intimidate the man anymore. ๐ I actually subscribed a few days ago.See what will happen.Not to mention the mans emails are fucking awesome..
so trying this tomorrow. thanks.
Now that's a great drill. Chinese call it Using your Noodle.
haha I just tried it today! Thanks!!
Genius.
I love this video, this is excellent … i tried it, but water going into my nose hurts so much, is there any way to avoid ? Thanks!
If air is coming out, water can't go in. Hold your mouth closed when you go to flip, and hear yourself HUMMMMM while you're going around. The humming should make air come out through the nose, and block water from going up. Hope that helps.
Pls tell me how do i practise this drill without using a noodle?
Great video
awesome
So helpful
Very much helpful
ok
wow these are amazing techniques especailly the pool noodle one
thanks for sharing!!!

Worked like a charm. Took a lot of practice but with patience I got there and I'm 62.
Love this, because they show not just the successful turns but the unsuccessful ones. You know, the way many of us beginners will really experience it in the pool…

Thank you for this video series! It worked very well for me!
I can't hold the noodle in the front to flip like in the video; however, when I put the noodle behind my back I can flip easy. Is it okay to learn how to flip this way. Please explain and thank you.
wooww, going to do it and see if eventually I can succeed with it
I'm a good athlete and a decent swimmer but I've never been able to do this…..
I'm getting better at flip turns. I thought Ill never be able to do.
WHOS WATCHING IN 2018!
Even as a swimmer Iโve been swimming for years I still struggle with these
I have this problem like I cant even nearly be near the wall when flipping. :/
