For the longest time, I have tried--and have constantly failed--to put up my very own blog. Usually, I pick up this strong urge to do so after browsing through some blogs of my friends but that urge usually dies down as quickly as comes to me. At least now, I actually made the effort of creating one! Oh yeah! So let the underwater experience begin!
A little introduction about the title of my blog is in order, I suppose. I have been a swimmer for more than a decade now and one of the many things which I always utilize in my Butterfly and Freestyle events is the underwater body dolphins. It is a technique which a swimmer uses coming off his dive as well as every turn wherein he stays beneath the surface of the water using dolphin kicks to propel him up to the swimming pool's 15 meter mark. To all those who are not really into swimming and are curious to see how this works, you can always go to Youtube and look for the races of Michael Phelps. The Greatest Swimmer in the World is the prime example of how this technique is done. But moving on, the reason why I chose this title is because the underwater dolphin is the probably the most underrated technique in swimming. Most swimmers are aware of it but very few use it. Putting it in to perspective, that is how I see myself. The subtlety of the underwater dolphin is pretty much synonymous with who I am. I don't think I can use the right words to explain this but I do hope that you'll stick around and read my future posts to find out what I mean.
Anyway, that's it for now. Until my next post!
Take your mark...
