Again, not to be done in the shallow end of the pool.
Good drill, but......people will need to work up to the water fall flips. One of the reasons why this drill may be good and they don't mention this, when it comes to flipping yourself underwater. When you're performing this drill on any other "flip turn" drills in this case, you should be using your arms underwater to help you turn your legs over quicker. None of the photos in that article show this portion which completes a good flip turn. Would i use this with my swimmers? I think that there is a better way to learning how to execute a flip turn.
