I was reading Ande's tips for faster swimming and noticed the one about practicing the dolphin kick. My butterfly has always been pretty bad and a function of this is my timing between the kick and the stroke. However, my dolphin kick alone is very weak. Anyone have any tips for improving my kick?
work on your technique
concentrate on kicking with perfect technique
make a video and post it on you tube
dolphin kick with a board
dolphin kick with no board
SDK sprints on your back side & belly
I do longer kicks on my side breathing to the side
my most recent 100 fly in a meet felt way better on the last length
I took more SDKs off each wall
lift weights to get stronger
if someones timing & kick is way off and getting in the way / slowing them down
when they swim fly
I tell them to barely kick & move their arms as fast as they can
