Dolphin Kick Lab was created to give competitive swimmers access to the details that make the biggest difference in racing — the skills often missed in traditional training environments.

Founded by Olympic gold medalist Tom Shields, Dolphin Kick Lab focuses on underwater performance, race execution, and the habits that separate good swimmers from confident competitors. Throughout an elite international career, Tom became known for world-class underwater speed and technical efficiency — skills that consistently decide races at every level of the sport.

After years of competition, learning, and working with young athletes, one pattern became clear: swimmers improve fastest when technical instruction is paired with understanding how elite athletes think, prepare, and approach performance.

Dolphin Kick Lab combines both.

Sessions are designed to be focused, practical, and immediately useful — helping swimmers leave the pool with clear tools they can apply in practice and competition right away.
