@swimsy.co: Freestyle turn vs Backstroke turn ↓ They may look similar because both turns include a forward somersault. But the order of the steps is different. Freestyle turn 1️⃣ Swim into the wall on your stomach 2️⃣ Keep your head down and start the somersault 3️⃣ Bring your knees toward your chest 4️⃣ Place your feet on the wall 5️⃣ Push off on your back / side 6️⃣ Rotate onto your stomach at the end of the push-off 7️⃣ Continue swimming freestyle Backstroke turn 1️⃣ Swim into the wall on your back 2️⃣ Rotate onto your stomach before the wall 3️⃣ Start the somersault 4️⃣ Bring your knees toward your chest 5️⃣ Place your feet on the wall 6️⃣ Push off on your back 7️⃣ Continue swimming backstroke The biggest difference: ✔️ Freestyle: rotate after the push-off. ✔️ Backstroke: rotate before the somersault. Once you understand the sequence, learning both turns becomes much easier. #freestyle #swim #swimcoach #swimtips
