My dolphins kick is so bad that my glide is longer and faster with no kick 😢. Working on it every day, but it’s frustrating

[chasunghee]

Amazig! Clear explaination! 👍🏻
Very clearly easy to understand especially as like a beginner, me!

1. hand over hand, wrist over wrist, top thumb wrapped around bottom palm
2. raise arms above head so bicep tucked close to ears
3. tuck belly button in, spine and neck neutral in line
4. kick with force while kicking upward and downward
5. upkick uses abs, hip flexor, and quads
6. down kick uses low back, glutes, hammies
7. increase speed of down kick and power of up kick
8. kick through hips

The reverse dolphin kick is the mostest funnst stroke I do I love it. I swim Back and forth in the pool for hours!!! And I pretend I am a Manatee ( Because I'm kind of fat) or an otter. I like breathing allot and really care not to stick my nose in the water. I'm gonna get one of them new fangled snorkel masks but I gots to Wait until my social security check comes in. But yes dolphin kick is the tits

Thanks for the video. My butt always goes up and down and I don't swim forward. What do I wrong?

My coach always says that the knees are your worst enemy when dolphin kicking, because we naturally want to bend them a lot.
This video shows the swimmer bending her knees quite a bit, so what's the best thing to do?

Dolphin kick is easier for me than breaststroke kick, I can learn it in few days

May I apply your dolphin kick technique to my mermaid swimming? I am learning the mermaid dolphin kick, but my kick is not very good. Can I use your method to improve my mermaid dolphin kick?

[akhmalsyafi]

Hello, what if im doing a dolphin kick, but holding my hands not in front, but close to my legs( on my hips). Is it one of the ways of dolphin kick or this technique is called something else? Thnx for a reply

[myotiswii]

Every swim training we are supposed to do 4 lanes, half a lane dolphin kick diving and half a lane flutter kicks.
I am training finswimming so my normal swimming kinda sucks anyway.

and its so weird, because my best categories are in Monofin, but I am just not able to dolphin kick. I can do Like 6 meters underwater and then I start paicking and it is so exhausting that I just cant continue.

I heard "My name is Linda I'm a spastic" 😂
