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.
about using a dolphin kick on pull out. make it a habit all the time in practice. i started using this a while ago but when i race i noticed if it's a 50 consistently but i am not consistent on 100 br or 4ooim bs leg.
Yes,always do it.Also be sure and practice it on SCY 200 BRs in practice.I find I go farther and there for stay underwater longer.The first couple of meets after the rule change I found myself doing the dreaded"lift your head and gasp"breakout as I wasn't ready for staying underwater longer.
To answer the other question,I don't have numbers,but pretty much everyone agrees it is a little faster.
