The same type of turn is used for both butterfly and breaststroke.

The laws say that you must touch the wall with two hands and because of this, a touch and pivot turn is used.

The main thing to remember about this turn is that you only need to touch the wall not hang on to it.

The quicker you touch and pull your hands away the better.

 

 

 


This is a Freestyle tumble turn.  The turn is basically a somersault and twist. Here's what you need to do:


    * Swim towards the wall
    * Forward somersault just before the wall
    * Place feet on wall & stretch arm out
    * Push hard on wall and twist onto front
