Thank you Chloe for the awesome videos! Truly appreciate it! I have improved tremendously from a newbie to a swimmer and tweaking my moves every time I hit the pool.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Elbow your Brother, Call your Mother tip is an awesome one... I have been swimming for more than 40 years and I never caught that little mistake that I have done all my life... until now; thank you again and keep the good work!
Love your channel, I can´t afford a trainer; but there is a nice public pool, where I've been practicing. I watch all you videos and I learn a lot, I like specially the freestyle one, where you draw some lines with the directions of the arm, It was fantastic. I still cant swim with butterfly, but I will keep training.
this is awesome and look fwd to trying this as i do loose quite a bit of time with a poor turn. your channel is bloody epic and beautifully explained making it easy to learn from X
Chloe thank you for the video. These tips gave me a clear picture of what I have to do. Also I am struggling with butterfly catch mostly with my arms. Do you have any drills on how to build memory muscle so I can improve on that?
Great tips. I can’t wait to try this tomorrow. But my problem whenever I turned heads up first is the water go to my nose. How to prevent this Chloe? Thanks for sharing.
The key for me was to keep the body horizontal and head facing down, even as you touch the wall with both hands. Don't lift your head or change your body position until you're done elbowing with one arm and driving your knees into your chest. This knee-drive curls your body up into a ball; this should be what gives your head and torso the momentum to "snap backward" into the water. Another key is to fix your eyes on the edge of the pool as soon as you start spinning backward. This helps keep your chin tucked, keeps you turning fast, and gives you the best breathing position before your head re-enters the water. Took me over a year to get the mechanics down; hope this helps.
Hmm, I'm a triathlete who only do freestyle. Looks like a good open turn is almost as hard as a flip turn. Might start practice the flip, but still still give it a try! Awesome coaching.
Great tips Chloe thanks for doing this - the 'not to do' section is all me ! :) When I followed videos to teach myself touch turns for front crawl (I'm rubbish at tumbling, long story ;) ) the instruction was to collapse all the way into the wall bending the arm right in - would you still recommend that for FC or to do the way you do as above ?
Love the video. My daughter is an IMer with BR being her beat stroke. She hesitated on using the cross-over or bucket because it does not give her a chance for a full breath in order maximize her pullouts. Any suggestions? THX.
Because turning face down (4:41) is inefficient and slows down your turn. It's much smoother and faster to twist onto your front *after* kicking off the wall when you're already in streamline.
❤ this is such a great tutorial, like all of yours. that said, i do the 'wrong' turn around method because of a spinal condition, and somehow its 'safer' to put my back to the wall and do that and push off the wall straight on my stomach, as opposed to the twisting in streamline (for me a very dangerous and painful move that has already proven to be problematic) from side to stomach. also, my wall push offs are weak, lame, and ineffective anyway, because of the aforementioned spinal situation, and i cant push too hard without potential damage or self injury. in fact, its faster for me to actually swim than to streamline in most cases, especially freestyle. in any case, im old and broken and wont be competition swimming anyway, aside from anyone in the lane next to me from kids to elders (either gender, doesn't matter who or what, although if you are male be sure ill be bringing it with even more aggressiveness) if i see something moving im going to race it) who DO NOT WANT A PIECE OF THIS, trust me, at least for a 25 yard length anyway :)
Hi. I'm hoping to compete in the Special Olympics and do the 100 IM. Everyone else is doing the 25 Free or 25 backstroke and my coaches don't know how to do/teach turns. This helps a lot, but I was wondering what you do with your hands when going from breast to back? Do you do the same here, even though you aren't rolling over to your stomach?
Yep, even though the flip turn in freestyle is obviously faster, open turns are nice for beginners in that they allow you take an extra breath. Also, open turns are easier to do in freestyle than in breaststroke or butterfly, since you only have to touch with one hand and you're already on your side. Here's a good tutorial for open turn in front crawl/freestyle: ruclips.net/video/iaX2p3XdwCQ/видео.html
Very good video but I have a question: when you pushed off in the underwater shot I'm not sure but it looked like you weren't past 90 degrees on you're side for the breastroke. I'm not criticising just wondering :)
+BobaFett MTB Great Question!!! I turn immediately onto my breast so I would not be disqualified. You get DQ'd if you push off blatantly on your back. Watch some video of great breaststrokers and their turns. My favorites are Sandeno, Soni, Donahue, and Dennison. See their push offs. Thank you for asking!
I would like to know as well. I guess it would be the same. You still need to use 2 hands on the wall to break the impact force and for a powerful push off the wall.
Thank you for another great video Chloe! I will include that open turn when I practice the push-off for the breast stroke.
Nice one. training myself from very poor technique. your vids really help. I am now 4 times as fast as when I started

Thank you for the tips! I'm an adult new to lap swimming and it's hard to get critique and tips without paying a fortune.
Breastroke is my best stroke, and my sister always told me something was wrong, but this helped :)
so hilarious her explanation! I love it!!
Fantastic drills, thanks Chloe.. very nice tricks
Thank you very much for all your nice instruction videos! I've learnt a lot from these, and will keep on going!!!

Great instructions.

helped a lot~:)) thanks

Really useful, thanks - but I wondered why it is wrong to turn to face down?

You teach 😍😍
beautifully explained
very helpful Chloe, big thanks! 3:59 skils :D
Djoko Triono
Thanks lot...very useful video...and always with a lovely smile 😃
Wow great video!! Elbow your brother and call your mother 😂😂 that really sticks.
Very good video
Wow. Fantastic
“Taking à selfie” 😂. I like it. You learn with these kind of comments
Oh so that's how it done!!

Wow. How you are great teacher love u
Thanks for your sharing
One question: if I do a turn and touch the wall with both hands but it doesn't look like that, will I get disqualified?
Thanks Chloe 👍
I don't really call my mother, she calls me!
How do you do this turn coming into the wall when you’re doing the butterfly? Can you make a video showing that?
Exactly the same as this
excellent :) thank you
really helpful. taking the selfie lol 😂
Hi. I'm hoping to compete in the Special Olympics and do the 100 IM. Everyone else is doing the 25 Free or 25 backstroke and my coaches don't know how to do/teach turns. This helps a lot, but I was wondering what you do with your hands when going from breast to back? Do you do the same here, even though you aren't rolling over to your stomach?
How is the last part (knees pointing down) a mistake? I mean what difference does it make?
Can I do open turn in free style

Also, open turns are easier to do in freestyle than in breaststroke or butterfly, since you only have to touch with one hand and you're already on your side.

+BobaFett MTB I also think it's somewhat the camera angle that makes me look more on my side. :)
Thanks a lot Chloe, I stand corrected :D You're right about the camera angle :) Thanks so much for your time and I still want you in NZ! :)
But how do I keep the water out of my nose?
Very interesting Chloe, thx a lot. Just a question : can we do the same for medley swimming when it comes to turn from butterfly to backstrocke?
Yes!
Great! Another question : will you make a tuto for crossover turn? (backstroke => breaststroke but "flipturn way")
Just saw your new vid, thx so much :)
alexandre guyon ي
Great explanation. Thanks.
Thanks my sister
Nobody can train better than you
Can these same concepts be applied for doing an open turn for freestyle??
to be honest I don't know why you would want to do a freestyle open turn, but I imagine so
long time no see ~!!!
+daesung kim I know right! I've been crazy busy
What about open turns in crawl?
I would like to know as well. I guess it would be the same. You still need to use 2 hands on the wall to break the impact force and for a powerful push off the wall.
@@scuba453 A year late, but here is a nice progression for open turn in front crawl/freestyle: ruclips.net/video/iaX2p3XdwCQ/видео.html
