In swimming laps, what do you call that 360 turn when you reach the end of the pool?



i see people doing in when in laps, just as when they're about to reach the end of the pool they spin and a kick off and then they're swimming again. Do you know what is it called and do you know links on where i can learn how to do this? or videos or instructions with pictures or something.... Thanks!!

it's called a flip turn. They are very easy to learn.

Flip-turn. Easy to do, but I can't give you a link - just one of those things that comes with practice.
Ya don't call it anything! Your "360 turn" is actually a 180 turn!
You get to the wall and you turn do a flip I usually call, this is called a tumble turn also what you call a 360 turn and I suggest first try practicing turning in the water, that's how I learnt it, then go to the wall, and try it. I've found an excellent website showing you the complete process in video and writing, here it is: news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi...
If you still need help you can e-mail me, it's in my profile.
THe tumble turn is very important and it improves your speed alot. Good luck!
It's called a flipturn. I don't know of any sites that can show it to you but I can explain it. You basically just do a front flip next to the wall and then push off and turn over onto your somach.
In the UK, it's known as a tumble turn.
