Best Answer

You would do a backstroke flip turn in the 50 meter portion of backstroke, a freestyle flip turn in the 50 meter portion of freestyle, Also regular butterfly and breaststroke turns in their 50 meter portions.

You also need to know how to do transitional turns from butterfly to backstroke, backstroke to breaststroke, and breaststroke to freestyle.

Remember also make sure and do two-hand touches on all breaststroke and butterfly turns and finishes.

What are the 200m IM turns?

TURNS1)Open Turn2)Back-flip Turn or One handed open turn3)Open TurnIn any individual medley (IM) you do three turns. After the butterfly you do an open turn and switch to backstroke. An open turn is when both hands touch the wall and then grab the wall and switch directions. There are two turns that you can do after the backstroke. You can either do a one handed open turn, or a back-flip turn. A back-flip turn is where you touch the wall and then use your hand to flip you around in the water and then push off to breaststroke. After the breaststroke you just do another open turn like the fly to back turn.

What good swimming fact happened in 1937?

Flip turns were invented. So was the butterfly, and breaststroke. This was the year when freestyle became freestyle, and butterfly, breaststroke, and backstroke became the three strokes. Remember that flip turns were invented in 1937 by scientist Lou Geoffburg of Germany while researching a way to go faster in battle.
