With the ability to do a dolphin kick now along with the pulldown, what is the proper timing. I have been out of swimming for a while, and when I competed, we couldn't use the dolphin kick at all.
Start by extending at the waist just before the pull down to give extra ROM.Then just let the kick flow as an undulation in time to the arms in the pull down.Maximum thrust is about when arms are at ribcage.
Skip,I'm not sure you are illegal.One downward dolphin kick is allowed,there is no mention of an upward kick in the rules at that point as it could be part of the recovery.
