Hi i counted my dolphin kicks after flip turn and i took 11 dolphin kicks to reach the 15m mark. Is that a good number? those dolphin kick were swift and fast ones. Should i dolphin kick after walls or just flip turn and freestyle? I am aiming for 5-6 dolphin kicks for a 200m freestyle race. Also is there any advantage for dolphin kicking off walls instead of just transitioning to normal freestyle?

  • I am actually faster just gliding to the surface off the turns in distances 100 and up. But in the 50, the one distance I'm alright at, I have no idea how many kicks I take. I need to experiment this in the future.
