My friend and colleague Adrian Dinis (Coach and Owner of Rattler Swim Club) has some ideas worth sharing; one of them -- posted a few months ago -- gets at the crux of the issue with many age group athletes: finding the correct dolphin kicking tempo. If you like reading about new ideas for training and learning about some things you can do to improve an athlete's skill set, check out this post: http://rattlerswimming.blogspot.com/2013/02/kick-workwith-tempo-trainers.html
I have not used the FINIS tempo trainer as often as I should, but after reading this post (while racking my brain for new ideas to get my athletes to kick better underwater dolphin kick) I may invest in a few for my athletes. Here is a link to the trainers: http://www.finisinc.com/tempo-trainer-pro.html

Pretty cool logo, eh?
Coming soon.....I have recently acquired a FINIS Monofin, and have been using it to help my athletes figure out a more effective way to dolphin kick. So far, it's been great. So, I plan to post a write-up on my athletes' Monofin use -- with a few videos to go along with it. Stay tuned!

Looking forward to seeing how the monofin works within the context of a practice. Keep us informed!
