豚式踢(dolphin kick)可以說是一種橫跨仰式、自由式與蝶式技巧(蛙式是只能使用一次豚式踢*),因此非常值得花心思與時間來練習。再者,dolphin kick 是在水中前進最快速的方式(Michael Phelps奪金的最重要武器),而且游起來十分優美,
* remarks: Kick—After the start and after each turn, a single butterfly (dolphin) kick, which must be followed by a breaststroke kick, is permitted during or at the completion of the first arm pull, following which, all movements of the legs shall be simultaneous and in the same horizontal plane without alternating movement. (Part I, Article 101.2.3 of "2010 Rule Book", U.S. Master Swimming)
所謂的豚式踢(dolphin kick)就是將雙腳當作式海豚的尾巴,以雙腳(背)上下拍動方式前進的一種技巧。請看以下的影片:
