I am completely horrible at dolphin kicking and wanted to know what others thought about changing my kick to flutter off walls and starts. Is it possible to be just as fast using the flutter kick (especially on backstroke turns) and does anyone here do it this way?
Train both, test both,
do whatever is fastest for you.
Keep training,
keep testing.
Test:
1) breakouts using SDK's & SFKs
2) 15 & 25 SDK & SFK
Give SDK 6 months to a year.
You might improve with training
Some swimmers don't have the feet or timing to SDK fast.
For me, my SDK is around 10 to 15% faster than my SFK.
Times will tell. What are yours?
