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 suspect you probably had not tried this particular drill ever before in your life, but it sounded kind of interesting, and you threw yourself into it with an admirable gung-ho spirit.
I think that pretty much sums it up, and thanks for putting it into a positive light. I like it when my spirit is admired!
I did 1 minute of flutter, 1 minute of dolphin repeat. Didn't sound like much, but I did do it full force. So, yah, the muscles are probably a little pissy at the moment. TG for Advil, and the forced day off Jan 1...
I'll be watching the NHL Winter Classic drinking tea instead!
