Underwater Dolphin Kick is one of the most important skills you can learn in Competitive Swimming which is why many swimming coaches refer to it as the Fifth Stroke!! Dolphin kick is used in almost every swimming event, and is the fastest way through the water. All you have to do is look at the Caeleb Dressel start and Michael Phelps underwater to see how much of a difference a fast underwater can make!! In this video, we are going to take you through our tips and the drills you need to master in order for you to improve your Streamline Dolphin Kick and get well on your way to improving your swimming times!! ----------------------------------------­---------------------------------- Butterfly Dolphin Kick - https://youtu.be/aul-FldfoJM This initial drill will help you master the correct body undulation and a neutral head position. It is best performed with a snorkel so you don't have to focus on moving your head! Streamline Dolphin Kick - https://youtu.be/aPWFAXAzWZo Swimming underwater in a streamline position is the quickest way to travel through the water. This Drill will help you master swimming faster underwater and get you concentrating on two main aspects; A tight streamline position with you arms locked behind your ears and pointing your feet like a ballerina; and smooth flowing body undulations during your butterfly kick, starting from your chest. Vertical Dolphin Kick - https://youtu.be/fXIlaCzXfuE A tough but hugely beneficial butterfly kick drill to do if done correctly, Vertical Dolphin Kick is a great gauge of how strong your dolphin kick is as well as adding a great new training method to mix up your swimming sessions! 🎵 Music by Ikson - https://soundcloud.com/Ikson #TheFifthStroke #butterflykick​ #flykick #dolphinkick​ #underwaterswimming​ #swimmingtutorial ------------------------------------------- ✔️ SUBSCRIBE to Propulsion Swimming: http://bit.ly/PropulsionSwimming 🔔 Hit the bell next to Subscribe so you don't miss a video! 🆕 Our Latest Video: https://bit.ly/PropulsionSwimLatest 🏊‍♂️ https://www.propulsionswimming.co.uk 📧 [email protected] ------------------------------------------- THE PROPULSION SWIMMING PODCAST 🍏 APPLE PODCAST - https://apple.co/2PwVz0l 🎙️ SPOTIFY - http://spoti.fi/2Pyg10S ⚓ ANCHOR - http://bit.ly/3eOVF0P 🎧 GOOGLE PLAY - https://bit.ly/2NopABD ----------------------------------------­---------------------------------- WHATS IN OUR SWIMMING KITBAG?
