<p>So</p>
<p>today I was swimming and training on my kick.
And I AM NOT DOING WELL</p>
<p>when I do freestyle kick I tend to lose rhythm and technique</p>
<p>any help on how to kick well and properly? I get really tired and annoyed because I can end up going really slow...</p>
<p>Ugh, </p>
<p>Any help on Improving technique, rhythm, speed, etc. specifically on kicking?</p>
<p>Uhmm, I honestly dont think CC is a good place for swimming improvement advice. Its kinda hard to describe in words…myabe you should ask someone on your school swim team.</p>
<p>-keep your feet loose and whip-like
-kick from your hips, not from your knees. it’s not like riding a bicycle
-try a six-beat kick, meaning six kicks per arm stroke
-to work on your rhythm and technique, work with a kickboard and fins.<br>
-take the fins off to work on power, do a length fast and then a length easy, repeat</p>
<p>-arms are more important than legs in swimming, but legs can win you a race at the end when your arms are dead. try dry-land exercises like quad extensions to work on increasing your kicking strength. once again, remember the kick is from the hips and not from the knees. </p>
<p>-your arms are important in maintaing your kicking rhythm, as your kicking rhythm is important in maintaining your arm-stroke rhythm. just try to really focus on keeping everything fluid and as effortless as possible.</p>
<p>The arm extension seems more important than the pull.</p>
<p>You actually shouldn’t be pulling any water, it should feel like “grabbing” or “catching” the water w/ open hands to move yourself forward</p>
