The simple turn can help a lot in gaining speed and endurance. While you are not doing the Olympic turn, you can improve your training, swimming a longer and more continuous distance using this turn. Even though it is called a simple turn (or open turn), there is a lot of technique involved, it is the official turn for breaststroke and butterfly, in addition to also being used in medley events. Even for swimming the crawl or backstroke, the simple turn is also very used. In this video I show you how to do and how not to do the simple turn. #swimming #canalnadamais #swimmingcrawl
