Freestyle and Breaststroke Open Turns!

A turn is typically performed when a swimmer reaches the end of a swimming pool but still has one or more remaining pool lengths to swim. Practicing the proper Freestyle and Breaststroke Open turns and incorporating them into each swim will greatly increase a swimmers endurance and speed.
