Hi, I have seen people doing Head-up dolphin kick drill. With arms on the side or arms extended. What is your opinion on this drill? Thanks in advance.

    I found it (Actually on your site George which is great for its clip library btw). So that's a butterfly swimmer's head position while having her hands on the side. That's the exact same position that you get when doing head up bf kicking drill. The hands never reach the place they would be in this drill - i.e. elbows straight and hands trailing by the hips. At the moment the head is most "up" (i.e. moment of inhale) the hands are pretty much in line with the shoulders. So having the hands behind you with head up would create a position that one would hope never to see in whole-stroke. Full clip available here www.dropshots.com/day.php (George, if there's any copyright issue with the fact of posting one of your clip on my dropshot site please let me know. I did that this way in order to have a direct link to the clip itself.)
