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?

George,
Ever thought about comedy? :yawn:
And in response to the dolphin kick question...The undulation is quick and tight. Fast kicks...with not too much up and down action. When done well...you can actually hear the 'swishing' of water coming from your toes.
They aren't always used in the 50 free. (In my opinion ...it's better to come off the wall with flutter kicks of fury.... for sprint freestyle.)
But for back and fly...it's well worth the time to learn how to do it right. Three to four kicks minimum off each wall can provide a very nice reduction in time.
