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.
Check out this 200 BACK from the spring, I believe Ande took it of Chris S. It highlights the importance and benefit of efficient and powerful sdk. I just wish my lungs would allow me to stay stay underwater as long as Chris does!
Just like others here have said, you have to train this "stroke" like any other. I started by doing two or three off each wall, and increasing from there.
(I also don't see how a five meter rule could be put into place. I am 1.8 meters tall, and can easily glide a body length past the flags on a turn by just streamlining)
