I want to learn Dolphin Kick. It looks so beautiful, yet I have hard time doing it. I just cant seem to get the hang of it. Although I'm not new to swimming, I feel like a fool. This weekend I tried again but I wasn't able to do it at all. A friend of mine told me to imagine moving like a mermaid. Is there a way to learn Dolphin Kick?

Of course there is. In fact, there is more than one way do it. The key point is to learn to move forward not just going up and down. To learn this you can try Head-Lead Body Dolphins. You swim dolphins with your head leading, without arms. Just like a real dolphin or a mermaid if you like. You can even use the fins to help you get started. Thus you will crack the mystery of going up and down and push forward at the same time. Later you can include arms and you will have the complete dolphin kick.
