This can be hard to judge because it all depends on the length of your legs. Depending on how long your legs are, you would normally do two strokes after the T, then do your turn. If you’re very tall or on the short side, adjust accordingly.
Do not start rotating your body during this step. As you start to somersault, breath out hard through your nose to prevent any water getting up it.
The tighter you tuck your body, the faster your somersault will be.
At this point, your legs are still tucked. Make sure you are not rotating in the water back onto your belly. You should be on your back at this point.
Think of the flip as a jump. The more power you put into that push, the farther you’re you’ll go without having to put in work and start swimming.
After kicking off and during rotation, you can perform a few strong dolphin kicks. This is optional, and may be something you want to do after you get better.
It is important that you don’t speed up as you approach the wall until you master this flip. Otherwise, you could hit the wall and hurt yourself.
