An open turn is a swimming technique used to change direction at the end of a race or lap. Unlike a flip turn, where the swimmer performs a somersault in the water, an open turn involves swimming to the wall, touching it with one hand, then rotating the body to push off and swim in the opposite direction. This turn is simpler and requires less speed and technique than a flip turn, making it a common choice for beginners or in events where quick turns are not as crucial. It is often used in longer races or by swimmers who are still mastering more advanced turns.
