Perfect Flip Turns with Caeleb Dressel | Swimming Stroke Technique

Flip turns can make or break your race, and I’ve spent years figuring out how to make mine as fast and efficient as possible. In this video, I’ll explain my step-by-step process for the perfect flip turn, covering everything from your approach to the wall, body positioning, drills, and a little trick I use to get free rotation off the wall.

Some key takeaways:
✅ Step Zero: Stay low—imagine a glass ceiling on the water!
✅ The First Two Strokes: Set yourself up for a smooth rotation.
✅ Flip Mechanics: Think tennis ball, not basketball for a tighter turn.
✅ Drills to Improve Your Turn: Stationary flips + the Steve Drill 🔥
✅ The Secret to Faster Rotations: Use your arms (yes, really).
✅ Push-Off Tip: I stagger my feet slightly for a quicker rotation off the wall.

Try these out in the pool and let me know what helps you the most! If you have ideas for future videos, drop them in the comments—I’m always looking for new topics to break down.

Thanks for watching! 💪 As always special thanks to producer and editor Ryan Rosenbaum for getting these videos out. Don’t forget to like, comment, and .
