Tumble Turn

A swimming tumble turn is a swift, efficient maneuver used by swimmers to transition between laps in the pool. As a swimmer approaches the wall, they perform a somersault, tucking their head to initiate the roll and using their legs to propel themselves over. This rotational motion allows the swimmer to flip seamlessly while maintaining forward momentum. As their feet approach the wall, they push off with strong leg drive, executing a powerful push that propels them back into the water. The tumble turn minimizes the loss of speed and helps maintain the swimmer's rhythm and flow, making it a crucial technique for competitive swimming.
