DVD Review: Richard Quick's Underwater Swimming, "The fifth stroke" (Thumbs Up)
Former Member
Thumbs Way Up.
Lot's of discussions regarding technique, and drills on how to obtain it.
Though the guy drawing stick-women to illustrate complex concepts is back, there is plenty of footage to illustrate various ways to atttack after launching off the walls. There are drills, styles, even demonstrations of Misty Hyman's way of doing a "sideways" dolphin kick off the wall. I tried it today in workout and got farther away from the line than usual.)
Fins are shown, even the monofin which now I have to get, cords and such too.
This purchase was worth the $35.

Don't tell me Clay will let you try something new. I am amazed.
Breaststrokers have always known about the fifth stroke:D
I coached a high school girl a few years ago. A natural butterflier who's bad shoulders prevented her from swimming fly. I had her do dolphin kick on her side, she was a natrual.
We started her with 2 dolphins off each wall in the 500 free at the first high school meet. By league champs she was doing 5 dolphins on her side off of each wall. I figure she swam freestyle less than 300 yards and the rest was the pushoffs and dolphins.
She did a lifetime best.
