The same type of turn is used for both butterfly and breaststroke.

The laws say that you must touch the wall with two hands and because of this a touch and pivot turn is used.



The main thing to remember about this turn is that you only need to touch the wall not hang on to it.



The quicker you touch and pull your hands away the better.



Try to practicse swimming into the wall and touching with arms stretched.



You may find you need to change the speed of the last couple of strokes so that you can do this.



As you touch the wall, turn sideways by taking one hand off the wall and driving your knees towards your chest.



Pull the elbow down of the arm you have taken off the wall, then kick off the wall as you complete the turn so that you are back on to your front.



Have just one stroke underwater after the turn.
