Martin demonstrates his freestyle flip turn.

Pay particular attention to how he swims right up to the turn.  Once he's at the right spot, then head tucks, and he flows down through the flip.

From underwater we see that he only lifts his eyes slightly, and honestly, we feel this is because this was a new pool to him, so the walls were coming up rather quickly.

You'll also notice that he comes off very much on his back, and begins the rotation to him side, then stomach during the dolphin kicks.
