What do you think of dolphin kicks (like flutter but both feet/legs up and down same time together)? Also, I see many divers including myself who think we are doing frog kicks but really are not - it starts in same position as frog with legs bent and wider apart then both fins push downwards at same time - don't know the name of this kick but I see many divemasters to this. I like this one since it is less tiring as mainly quad muscles used with hardly any hamstrings needed. Split fins are no good for this type of kick though as I found out but the hinged fins like Seawing Nova Gorillas are great for this type of kick.

Hey, than you for taking your time to leave a comment! Dolphin is not adequate for SCUBA diving, because it creates a lot of tension in the lower back muscles and requires a lot of energies... and we must be efficient about our efforts to minimize DCI risk and CO2 retention. The other style you mentioned is kind of an hybrid between frog and shuffle and other than being sincerely painful to watch, it's also highly ineffective... basically it's what people do when try to swim frog, but they don't know how to do it... and it's important to help them improving themselves! I have some students with this issue and it takes a lot of time to develop the right muscle memory... teaching swimming is much harder than teaching any other skill and it's important to understand the divers and their background! Not everybody is a natural born swimmer, including myself eheheheheheheh!
