Flip Turn for Back Stroke ● Preparation for doing a flip turn during back stroke begins when seeing the back stroke flags, hanging approximately five yards from the wall. This indicates that you are approaching the wall. ● Once you see the flags, you're going to use five arm strokes, or however many you have counted. ● On the 5th stroke, you're going to rotate onto your front. ● Perform one (1) freestyle arm pull into your somersault or your freestyle flip turn. ● Plant your feet on the wall. ● Push-off in streamline position, and stay on your back. ● Perform several dolphin kicks to propel you through the water. ● After the 3rd dolphin kick, surface and begin your back stroke. 17
