Monofin Swimming - Ways to Train

[Mermaid Kala]

Found this video/article on monofin swimming techniques - how to do different swim strokes with a monofin dolphin kick.

I thought the sprints idea was interesting, and being able to vary your movements and strokes could help to train and define
different muscle groups, and make you a stronger monofin swimmer all around.
Going to try some of these in the pool tonight! :)

Definitely check out the video at about the 1:15 mark - Awesome 360 rotation swimming; would look amazing in a tail!!

Very cool! I agree, the rotation at 1:15 is fab! every time I try to swim on my back, I look totally ridiculous.

That was exactly what I was looking for! I have been taking ocean swimming lessons and learned all of those strokes just a month ago but now I see how to incorporate my wave with them. Thank you!
