Dolphin Kick *** Arms

Want to try this drill. Can someone help me with the timing? How many kicks per arm motion. I'm not much of a flyer. You must understand too, a thoroughbred breaststroker like myself will find it difficult to pervert my sacred stroke, so I am curious if anyone has a tip or two? :p Rich

    Had my daughters private coach tell me, PRESS DOWN, rebound, PRESS DOWN, rebound. So the first kick is a press down with the.....thinking....hips, the second kick is a rebound from the first press down. He likened it to a big jump on a tramp, and then the body automatically will make a little jump. Hard to explain out of the water. Works though, since I have been thinking about it in this manner, my fly positioning in the water is much better. ..still not great, but not bad for this old lady. i think if you are doing the drill to work on the ***-stroke glide...one kick (and think of it more as a body dolphin) if you are doing this drill to work the b-fly kick timing...two kicks (the br-stroke pull should work as a less energy-sucking, violent, child scaring, middle child look at me, upper body alternative)
