Head-up dolphin kick drill

Heads up anything should be limited to short swims. We did it for practice for waterpolo, accross the 15 yard wide pool with the ball and pass it off to another swimming in the opposite direction. As far as Heads up butterfly we just changed the position of the legs to be a more verticle dolphin kick, not a horizontall position.

Hey Terry I have tried to download videos here just put in on Google video and link it. But may be another way???

Terry I do not profess to be a great coach. I have developed swimmers that coaches love to get their hands on. I know of a couple of the greatest coaches in the USA who could not even swim. I believe teach it simple from the start or when teaching someone who has faults to also make it simple.

Solar here is some butterfly video video.google.ca/videoplay Lots of drafting off a butterfly swimmer.:D Yeah and some wave too ! I didn't know you were hanging around this forum George. I'll show up more often. Do you think those two guys swimming butterfly are actually leading a tri pack during a 1500 ;) ?

George When were you "close" to a minute flat in the 100 fly? Or maybe a better question would be how close was close?

In 1958 I swam a relay with a flying start 110yards lc in 59.8 that was my fastest around that time. I started doing fly in 1955. All the Individual events at the games were 200m and I only did the 100. The record for the 100 were as follows 57.0 Luis NICOLAO ARG 27-04-1962 Rio de Janeiro, BRA 58.4 Luis NICOLAO ARG 24-04-1962 Rio de Janeiro, BRA 58.6 Fred SCHMIDT USA 20-08-1961 Los Angeles, CA, USA 58.7 Lance LARSON USA 24-07-1960 Toledo, OH, USA 59.0 Lance LARSON USA 26-06-1960 Los Angeles, CA, USA 1:01.0 Takashi ISHIMOTO JPN 14-09-1958 Kochi, JPN 1:00.1 Takashi ISHIMOTO JPN 29-06-1958 Los Angeles, CA, USA The 59.0 was the first time they broke the minute. I retired from training in 1958 and only swam when the coach asked me to swim in races the only swimming I did was Waterpolo Practices 2 times a week from 1958 til 1963 when I started to train for the marathon races.

Wow. You were the best butterflyer in the world at the time. The world record in 1958 was only a 1:01
