How do you change direction when swimming freestyle in a pool?

A flip turn is done by basically gliding into the wall and flipping into a back-stroke glid and eventually turning back onto your front. With your momentum carrying you into the wall, tuck your head under so your upper torso will be on its back. Your legs will follow over and the momentum will carry your legs into the wall. In the glide position on your back slowly turn back onto your front. As you improve and get your orientation you will be able to flip while on your side, and will be able to more efficiently do your turn. Things to watch when turning, work on your timing coming into the wall. You will need to be able to judge when you should start your flip turns, that's what the T on the lane lines are for. Keep from going to deep when doing your turns. Keep your body stream lined into the wall and coming off the wall. Think of your body as hinged at your hips and keep both halves extended when flipping - only the hinge bends. Good luck.

It is very simple. I used to be a swimmer and it happend to me many a time. It sounds a bit rediculous but you just tilt your head to the side where the water is, hen just jump up and down. It will be out in a matter of seconds. Trust me.

the backstroke turn can look many different ways depending on the event. For just a general backstroke turn you would be doing the following...\nSwimming down the pool backstroke, count the amount of strokes  it takes you from the flags to the wall. Then subtract between 1 or 2 strokes. Next swim down the pool counting your strokes under the flags, when you hit that number roll following your left hand onto your stomach and do a regular flip turn. you can take on pull with ur right arm while turning.  DO NOT TAKE ANYMORE STROKES ONCE U TURN OVER on ur stomach. When you push off the wall make sure it is on your back! Then continue. Hope this describes it for ya.

clockwise in the northern hemisphere, anticlockwise in the southern. this according to the coriolis force, but of course there otehr factors that might influence the direction of the water (geometry of the sink, external vibrations, you turning your finger in water....)

I’ve never seen this.  When I swim I take a breath just before turning, exhale while doing a flip turn and then breath the next stroke.  You have to exhale while doing the flip turn otherwise water will go up your nose, very uncomfortable.

In the direction of the velocity vector. That's the best that can be done, given the limited information you have provided.

tilt your head to one side and drop a few drops of water in the ear with the water.  Once you feel it, tilt your head to the other side and then jump up and down until the water comes out.

Yes it is you have to do laps and make sure your doing them right. I'm a diver and I do laps all the time backward,sidewards,frontwards,and underneath are the best. Also if your not afraid of the diving board do a few jumpslike frontwards,backwards,fronttucks,and backtucks those are the simple ones. Hope this advise works.

As a former lifeguard, I agree with Mike_1am. With the side stroke, you carry the person with one hand and use the other to swim. With the back stroke, unlike the swimmers in competitions I was taught to carry the person with both hands and use only my feet to propel my way back to safety.

This might sound dumb, but try going out to the driving range and moving your back foot backwards a couple of inches...\nI don't mean feet further apart, I mean that your body will actually be turned slightly in a clockwise direction.\nit will change the angle of impact with the ball, and that will change the spin you unknowingly place on the ball.  \nThis isn't a guaranteed solution, but that's how I fixed mine.

First you need to learn how to do front-side 180's and kick-flips. After you master those than just do them all at once. Its easier if you learn front side varial too because all a front side kick-flip is a varial kick-flip and you doing a 180

When it comes to competetive swimming, freestyle simply means that there are few rules that govern how the stroke is judged.\n\nFreestyle swimming competitions can be any of the unregulated strokes such as front crawl, dog paddle, or sidestroke. Individual freestyle competitions can also be swum in one of the officially regulated strokes (breaststroke, butterfly, and backstroke). The freestyle part of medley competitions, however, cannot use breaststroke, butterfly, or backstroke. Most competitive swimmers will choose to swim front crawl during freestyle competitions, as this style provides the fastest speed. Freestyle competitions have also been swum completely and partially in other styles, especially at lower ranking competitions. During the Olympic Games, front crawl is swum almost exclusively during freestyle.\n\nSpecific rules as defined by FINA:\n\n- Freestyle means that in an event so designated the swimmer may swim any style, except that in individual medley or medley relay events, freestyle means any style other than backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly. \n\n- Some part of the swimmer must touch the wall upon completion of each length and at the finish. \n\n- Some part of the swimmer must break the surface of the water throughout the race, except it shall be permissible for the swimmer to be completely submerged during the turn and for a distance of not more than 15 meters after the start and each turn. By that point the head must have broken the surface.
