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?
Hi Warren,
I agree that practicing your SDK with fins may be helpful. Vertical dolphin kicking can help, too. This may seem silly, but you may also want to check your streamline when you dolphin kick. Sometimes people with great free kick streamlines break them with dolphin kick. Finally, you may want to work on making sure that you connect your kicks fluidly rather than taking really separated giant kicks (if that makes any sense). I hope something here helps a little! Good luck!
