Competitive swimmers and coaches now have a powerful, evidence-based guide to elevate underwater kick performance: The Dolphin kick Manual: The Swimmer’s Ultimate Guide to a High-Performance Dolphin Kick is officially available.
Written by 2x Olympic Trials qualifier, coach, and author Olivier Poirier-Leroy, The Dolphin Kick Manual is the most comprehensive guide ever written on building a dominant underwater dolphin kick, widely regarded as swimming’s “fifth stroke.”
Backed by over 140 peer-reviewed studies and insights from Olympians, NCAA champions, and elite coaches, the books goes into fine detail about every element of an elite underwater dolphin kick. Topics covered include undulation, kick frequency, amplitude, ankle flexibility, core control, strength and power development, and more.
“A fast underwater dolphin kick isn’t a ‘nice to have’ skill in the pool anymore,” says Poirier-Leroy. “This book is the resource swimmers and coaches need to train smart, with proven and actionable takeaways to maximize underwater performance.”
The Dolphin Kick Manual includes practical training sets—20 printable PDF sets that swimmers and coaches can use immediately—as well as drills, dryland exercises, and science-backed recommendations to help swimmers unlock more speed off every wall and breakout.
The Dolphin Kick Manual is available exclusively at YourSwimLog.com and is priced at $59 USD. The book is in digital format and is available globally, across all regions.
Olivier Poirier-Leroy is a former national-level swimmer, swim coach, and the founder of YourSwimLog.com. He is the author of several popular books for swimmers, including Conquer the Pool and YourSwimBook. Teams and schools such as national collegiate champions University of British Columbia, Auburn, University of California (Berkeley), and more have used his books with their swimmers.
