I am a newbie and trying to get the dolphin kick right.Alas - I still did not figure it out.Do you have to move your entire body a certain way to be able to perform a good dolphin kick?And generally what are the basics on the technique of the kick?
Thanks.
I have a pretty good dolphin kick on my back. In the mid-80s I had the privilege to work out in the same group as Pablo Morales. One of the things I've never forgotten, that Mitch Ivey taught us about Pablo's kick, is that he always kicks up and down with his feet. Whenever I kick dolphin kick on my back I press the top of my feet up towards the surface, which is the easy part, but I always remember to push the bottoms of my feet down as well. Of course that's a pretty small detail when you're trying to figure out what the rest of your body should be doing in relation to your legs! I just thought I'd throw it out. Hope it helps. :)
