Dolphin Kick

I've been surfing the Internet pretty much the majority of the night.  I came across this story on npr.org about the science of the dolphin kick that the Olympic swimmer, MP, uses as a technique to go faster under water.  It's amazing and very hard, as I know from experience.  I tried it the other day in the pool at the gym.  Lets just say I didn't feel like a dolphin at all, more like a sinking rock.  MP's talent for swimming is amazing!
