Video Transcript: PHILLIP TORIELLO: "Hi, this is Phillip Toriello, and this is how to do a turn while doing breaststroke. The breaststroke is a very easy stroke as far as that full breathe, kick, glide aspect that we were talking about before. As you're coming into the wall however, you're going to want to do your outward, your inward sweep, glide into the wall with your fingertips; touching the wall and/or grabbing the edge of the pool, drawing your legs underneath you with your top hips; foot on top, and your left leg or lower leg on the bottom on on your side. And then you're going to simultaneously go under the water; push off into a streamline manner. So once again, you're going to be doing that one last pull up, glide into the wall, touch with both fingers, draw your legs underneath you as quickly and smoothly as possible. And then, instantaneously duck down at the same time, and push off onto your stomach in a streamline fashion in getting ready for your pull downs. For more questions about open turns or breaststroke turns, please contact your local swimming expert."
