Coaches, fellow swimmers: How to learn/practice dolphin kick start in freestyle and backstroke? Appreciate any help! :D (this will be a way to reduce stroke per length)

I'm a fan of pushing off under water... 4 kicks face down, 4 face right, 4 face up, 4 face left (basically 4 kicks at each orientation rotating underwater... might not have described it great). This should help you with some lung cap (you'll be like 3/4 of the pool underwater) and can help you get a feel for doing the motion.
Same drill as the 4 quarter fly kick, but definitely one of my favorites when it comes to fly kick drills!
