Open turn technique | Breastroke turn | Butterfly turn | Individual Medley turns

Open turns technique tutorial.
While swimming butterfly, breastroke or individual medley, there are three things to do for fast open turns.

1- One arm
2- Second arm with head
3- Feet

Both hands should touch the wall at the same time. One hand stays on the wall and the other goes back underwater. This movement of the arm along with the feet should rotate your body 45 degrees.

The second arm waits for the head to take a breath. Once you take a quick breath the hand goes out of the water and follows the head until it joins the other hand to make a tight streamline.

The feet are the most important here. You need to bring your feet sideways to the wall as fast as possible. To do this you need to bend your knees as soon as the hands touch the wall. If you want to be really fast, hide one foot behind the other.

At this point you should be with your feet on the wall, ready to push. Your chest should be pointing to one side of the pool. Now, push sideways as hard as you can and rotate the other 45 degrees during the tight streamline.

There is a slight variation if you are doing a butterfly to backstroke turn. Instead of rotating during the turn, just bring your feet from underneath and push facing up.
