Dolphin technology practice
The dolphin swimming technique, also known as butterfly swimming, is considered the most difficult and strenuous style. The technique is similar to crawl swimming in terms of muscular strain, but the movement is performed with both arms and both legs and the undulation movement is initiated from the lower back. From there, a wave movement takes place over the legs to the feet with a final kick of both feet. Furthermore, a constant change in the water position is required, whereby the angle of attack of the upper body must be observed. The arm movement is divided into an immersion and extension phase, a pull and push phase and a return phase.
We will then use fins as our primary aid. This will first teach us the correct leg stroke and the dolphin wave movement. It is then easy to add the arm stroke and swim at least a whole length of dolphin in a relaxed manner with the help of the fins.
