Welcome to the \u201cFINIS Tip of the Week.\u201d Swimming World will be bringing you a topic that we\u2019ll explore with drills and concepts for you to implement with your team on a regular basis. While certain weeks may be more appropriate for specific levels of swimming (club, high school, college, or masters), each tip is meant to be flexible for your needs and inclusive for all levels of swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s tip combines elements of two strokes, freestyle and butterfly, to work on coordination, body awareness, and overall body connection to improve the catch in freestyle. <\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, you\u2019ll be adding dolphin kicks as a substitute for flutter kick with normal freestyle arms. Ideally, you should be taking one dolphin kick per stroke, using the propulsion of the kick to drive forward into your catch with each stroke. <\/span><\/p>\n
