The backstroke turn involves tucking your chin on your last stroke, similar to a freestyle flip turn, and using your hips to initiate the turn.
Backstroke Turn Technique

- Chin Tuck: Just like in a freestyle flip turn, the key is to tuck your chin on your last stroke into the wall. This helps initiate the rotation.
- Hip Action: Use your hips to assist in the turning motion.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Last Stroke | Take your last stroke into the wall and tuck your chin. |
| Initiate Turn | Use your hips to assist with the rotation and push off the wall in a streamlined position. |
