When working on back to breast open turns with my kids I keep it simple. The first exercise we do is a simple drill where they kick in, execute the turn, then swim breaststroke out.
I explain that they must be on the side, have their eyes up, and keep the palm down as they reach for the wall. As soon as they feel the hand touch the wall, they simultaneously turn the head to face the wall and pull the knees into the chest. They then drop under with the top arm bent and the hand next to the head. They exit on the side, rotate onto the belly and execute the pull down.
Once I feel they have the right idea we move on to swimming in and out and continue with the same ideas and techniques we previously worked on in the drill.
Take a look for yourself and use this video as a visual learning aid.
Great turn!!!!!!!!! That was my sister doing that pro turn ;)
