How do you improve on Stremlined dolphin kick. I'm a god awful kicker. A couple days ago I timed my self in a 50 scm free kick with a board from a push and I went 44 seconds. I can go a 24 low in a 50 scm free, those two times don't match. And for SDK, in a race I do as little as posible, I just get to the surface quick and start swimming becasue staying under and kicking slows me down.
Does any one have any drills to improve my kicking? ande I would like to hear form you on how to improve on sdk because you are real fast at it.

SDK is improved by dolphin kicking on your back. I'm a backstroker, so it was worthwhile to learn how to do it. But for the 50 free...I come off the wall with a strong flutter after the initial speed burst wears off. (Dolphin kicks ruin the tempo for me in sprint swimming.) Even if your legs aren't doing much when they flutter...they're still establishing the arm tempo.
For what it's worth...it's been said that kicking only provides about 10% of one's propulsion.
