I can't do an effective dolpin kick off of my turns. I usually do freestyle kick off my freestyle and back turns. But for 50 fly its crutial. I only do 2 or 3 kicks so that I dont slow myself down. Thats only about 5 meters. I always get beat on the turns because I am a bad under water swimmer. do you have any tips on dolphin kicking?
The only way to be a better underwater swimmer is to spend more time underwater. I personally like it underwater myself, so I spend a lot of time SDK-ing on my side, back and stomach. Try it with fins for awhile if that helps you get the hang of it. I always do 10 x 25 under water dolphin kick with fins almost every practice (or without fins and do easy free). But Jeff is right, not everyone likes or needs to do it. But I think it is faster...
