    This move saved my life once. I got caught in a current in the ocean in Santa Monica CA, with my daughter standing on the sand I fell in the ocean and waves going out took me almost in the middle part of the ocean.I could hear my daughter crying mom mom. Feeling My feet leave the sand scared the hell out of me. My daughter was 7 years old at the time. It was nearly impossible to get back on the sand. I was getting tired of fighting the water and I am no swimmer trust me. I looked down in the water something was very near me. But as a 911 operator I was trained to stay calm. What was near me I thought it was a shark. But it turned out to be a dolphin she jump up and want under water almost right next to me.I copied her move and was able to get out of the water. That was really and experience. So I learn this move very well. And it was taught to me by a dolphin. This still amazes me to this day. And my daughter is now 35. God is great! My daughter says she remembers that day.

      @@saudalameel4329 you can sure all you want if you do believe it that's your problem! Then you don't believe what God has done throughout the Bible. Keep not believing and watch man destroy the earth. I bet you will start believing. God use his animals when he see fit. They are not just put on this earth for food and torture. And no I don't eat meat. There have been diver's in deep water in trouble and a humpback whale came and helped them. I guess you think that's not true? Well I don't care what you think. But I am grateful for that dolphin and I thank God for sending her. You can say what you want. But that was not you in that water with your only child standing there not knowing if her mom was going to make it are not. So grow your ignorant ass up.

      @@spartananator4191 I think it is gods, plural. I was scuba diving and the boat was really rocking. I was having problems walking in fins and tank aft to jump in. I yelled out FU Neptune. Big mistake. Big wave outta nowhere knocked me down, spraining my ankle and cutting my knee. I paid for this dive I'm going in. The group was puzzled why the dolphins split and sharks showed up. Moral of this story is don't dive while bleeding and dolphins are useless.

    Great Chloe, you've helped me out a lot. Now I'm "gliding" in the water much longer and swims are turning now into a therapy of its own with breathing and thought technics that take my practice into a different realm of consciousness. Too bad sound was too saturated. Next time try using a compressor not volume to get the most out of your voice track. Again thank you.

    • @camc5348
      @camc5348 5 років тому +17

      to be a good dolphin kicker you need to be mobile especially in the shoulders and ankles. if you’re too tight you won’t be able to get into an effective kick position without bending your knees so much and this markedly increases resistance and slows you down. try mobilization exercises for scapula and for ankles before getting into the water and see if that helps you.
