Turns - Learning the Underwater Dolphin - Step 3
In the next steps to learning the underwater dolphin, it's finally time to take it underwater.

I jumped in with the Navy team for a few sets and kept up OK (they were wearing tennis shoes).

There are few things in swimming that cross the lines of all strokes, but learning the underwater dolphin is certainly the most important.

This may not look like a kick set, but it's a kick set.
Swimming Question of the Week - August 19, 2009

Swimming Set of the Week - February 17, 2009
This week's swim set works your dolphin kick off the wall.
Breaststroke - Timing the Kick
A great coach recently said that the biggest problem with breaststroke is "the kick." This confirms our belief that working on when and how you initiate the kick is a much bigger concern than most people think.

Swimming Set of the Week - October 7, 2008
As the season ramps up, so does the yardage, intensity, workload, just about everything. While this set is fairly long, it's varied just enough to keep your interest, challenge you to swim fast, and work muscles that are often neglected.
All-Strokes - Underwater Tempo-Trainer Dolphins
In case you missed the Olympics last week, and in case you missed how swimming was sorta in the limelight, you may have also missed seeing how important underwater dolphins are to a swimmer's success. As a hint, it's the first thing we've started working on... even for us old Masters swimmers.
Swimming Set of the Week - August 19, 2008
Here's an IM set inspired by Michael, Ryan, Katie, Natalie, Kirsty, Stephanie, Laszlo, and all the other great IMers we've been watching in Beijing.
Freestyle - Phelps-Like Breakouts
Ever wish you could push off the wall like Michael Phelps? Yeah... us, too. But at least we can try to improve on what we've got, and get as "close" to the master as we can. Here's a fun drill you can incorporate into your practices to at least make you FEEL like Mike.
