I'm going to try to teach myselrf to tumble turn tomorrow. Any tips??

just wait wednesday..... you can't teach yourself soemthing you don't know, or that you can't see yourself doing.

this is the my tips:

"there is always a difference between what you THINK you are doing and what you actually really DO " but where the coach come is not in this, but more and what you COULD actually do.

Hi Seb,

can we look at teaching the members tumble turns, maybe between yourself and Anghous some week, for ten mins you could teach one lane and he could coach other lane either on tumble turns or else just basic technique if new members would find basic swimmin more of a help.

It is part of my plans, but not now, as not every body is ready for it.

I do have to follow my plans in the right order, tumbles does not take 10min to learn, but you need about 1000 turns before you start to be ok with them.

If we do this in the session, I garranty a big mess.... because when you start to learn them you can't go back, you have to try every single time..... for ever adn ever  

I'm a culprit of starting to learn and going back!!!! Struggled with the for ever and ever bit!! I can do them when i'm swimming slow but not when swimming fast. I think I'll just wait for the teaching....or go do 1000 turns tomorrow!

Okay, So i really need to learn how to do tumble turns for the joey hannon olympic may weekend. Seb can yo factor them into training soon??

they are palned for session 3 and 4 so be patient, more thing to do....where were you last night ?

from my experiance of it you'd want to be doing a lot of tumble turns before may to be comfertable enough that they'd save you any time over a good touch turn. i've been doing them since before xmas  but i'm still way quicker doing touch turns, not to mention the oxygen debt from not getting a lung full of air at the wall. This might be just me but i'll be sticking to touch turns for Joey hAnnon

Mark...how defeatist of you im suprised!!
Did 75 last night and even ended up in the wrong lane a few times very very messy but on  the up side the last 15 or so were spot on
thanks Seb now its just practice for the next three months!!!! (that right Mark three month think youll be up to speed by then!!)
