How to do a flip turn!

Step 9 Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming

SWIM
Once you are belly down, begin your transition back into freestyle by using a strong flutter kick and heading towards the surface. Begin your freestyle pull with whichever hand is closest to the bottom of the pool. As your hand completes the pull, you should be close enough to the surface for your hand to exit the water just like a normal stroke.
 
Note: The timing of this takes practice, so don’t be frustrated if it doesn’t work on your first try!

 Remember that if you are swimming in a competition you only use flip turns for free style and backstroke, not for breaststroke or butterfly. If you are swimming in a competition, its best to stick to flutter kicking and not dolphin kicking, as you may be disqualified.

 i agree with that up until the kicking part, you dolphin kick after a flip turn, you dolphin kick on your breaststroke pullout, you dolphin kick for fly, and you dolphin kick after your backstroke turn. ive been swimming competitively for some time now i know what im talking about.
