Dolphin technology
The dolphin swimming style is probably the most demanding and at the same time most elegant discipline in swimming. It requires not only strength, but above all coordination, a sense of rhythm and stable body tension. In this course, prospective swimming coaches learn how to methodically build up the complex whole-body movement and teach it to their swimmers step by step.
The focus is on the wave movement, which is initiated from the hips and continues through the entire body. Building on this basic movement, the arm stroke, leg stroke and breathing are gradually integrated into the technique. In addition to the basics in the water, the course also includes special exercises on land that promote an understanding of movement and make it easier to get started.
Another focus is on the underwater phase, which plays a central role especially after starts and turns. Here, participants learn how to use the dolphin kick efficiently in order to carry speed and momentum with them. This is followed by the combination of all movement sequences into an overall position, whereby the focus is on technical quality and fluid coordination - not speed.
At the end of the course, participants will have a structured concept for teaching the dolphin style in a practical and methodical manner. With a variety of drills, partner exercises and creative approaches, they can introduce this special swimming style to swimmers of all levels and integrate it into their repertoire as effective technique and coordination training.
