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.

Greg, if you have access to back issues of USMS SWIMMER, take a look at the May/June 2007 issue. There's a nice pictorial in there that describes the mechanics and timing of the post-2005 breaststroke pullout, as well as some drills to help improve your pullouts. If you don't have access to any back issues of the magazine, shoot an email to chriscolburn AT usms DOT org and I can provide you with a link to a copy of the article.
