I briefly spoke to the swimmers last week about a video that I would like for the swimmers to watch. Please have your swimmer watch the video below. It should last about 16 mins. This video (Click the title above) is important as we will be talking about underwater fly kicking as well as specifically dolphin kicking for Fly this next week. There are some key points that I want them to see and here from Coach Bob Gillett. In my coaching over the years I have often used Coch Gillett's philosophies and have attended some of his clinics. I know this will be good for the swimmers. So, please allow them to watch.
1) DPK/DPC/DPS = Distance Per Kick-Cycle-Stroke
2) The Fish Kick
3) Importance of up sweep and down sweep of kick
4) Setting Memory patterns with their kick
5) Tempo of the kick
6) Odd Kick counts under water off their walls
7) Importance of kicking on side while pushing off wall (i.e. leaving walls from good ready positions on every rep.)
