How can this information be used?

The key to this stage of the turn is the planting of the feet. If both feet aren't confidently planted on the wall the potential to generate thrust in the opposite direction isn't totally harnessed. The other consideration of this phase is to not waste time rotating the body back onto its front when coming out of the turn. Optimise the high velocity present in the turn by pushing off in the position the body is already in, and move the body back to its front when travelling in a streamline position away from the wall. 

The video below shows what to avoid in this phase of the movement pattern.
