Underwater Butterfly Kick

Good Morning Forumites, I have a question for you. We all know the fifth stroke is considered the underwater butterfly kick. It doesn't matter if it is used off freestyle, backstroke, or butterfly turns. How much time have you dropped in your respective events after you have implemented a 10-15 meter underwater dolphin kick off each wall? I am looking for input from butterflyers, backstrokers, and freestylers. The events would consist of below: 100, 200 free 100, 200 fly 100, 200 back Another question, hypothetically, if USA Swimming and US Masters abolished the 15 meter underwater rule and established a 5 meter underwater rule, how much would times slow down on average? Thank You for your input.

Thank You for your input. Hello we call "Underwater Butterfly Kick" SDK short for "streamline dolphin kick" We have a forum called "the SDK Lane" where much is discussed. I've written much in SFF like SDK Advice for a 5 year old. How much time have you dropped in your respective events after you have implemented a 10 - 15 meter underwater dolphin kick off each wall? Not sure, but it's helped a lot especially in sprints 50's & 100's 100, 200 free 100, 200 fly 100, 200 back every swimmer should train to improve their SDK and have an SDK kick count strategy for each race. If you're a fast SDKer, use more kicks, work on speed and speed endurance so you can do a few more kicks per length in your 200's If you're not so fast do a few small kicks If you have a terrible SDK and after training for several months flutter kicking is faster for you, don't do any If USA Swimming and US Masters abolished the 15 meter underwater rule and established a 5 meter underwater rule, how much would times slow down on average? my guess is several 10ths per 25
