My flip-turns... not yet perfect

My next goal for swimming to save more time is to do proper flip-turns. See also: http://www.svl.ch/flipturn.html

Great hint: "•Never use your arms and hands to initiate and perform the tumbling motion (mistake #1)." - I trained it without arm-movement and it is much more smoother!

Lessons learned from the Liveguard course so far ...

I am really happy that I started the lifeguard course. Meanwhile I learned important skills in the lifeguard trade:

1. swimming without googles
2. handling emergency situations
(from alarming to lifesaving reanimation)
3. transport-swimming of persons
4. diving 4-6 meter deep w/o equipment
5. jumping from the 3 m tower
