How to do a flip turn!

Step 6 Houston, we have takeoff!

PUSH OFF
Launch yourself off the wall by straightening your legs and moving your entire body in a tight streamline (remember, torpedo-like). Staying on your back, push straight off of the wall. Remember to keep your eyes on the surface of the water and not on your toes or your destination!

[See the sequence of pictures to help clarify this step.]

Note: Once you've had some practice completing the turn, you can speed things up by playing 'hot potato' with the wall. To keep your turns fast, you minimize the time your feet spend on the wall by planting and pushing off in one quick, smooth motion.
