Most people says you only get 5-15% propulsion from your kick but in my case i can get about 30% propulsion at a good pace. I can easily compete with my co-swimmer just by kicking!
I think it's no wonder it's so difficult to find a video that actually explains kicking–the truth is almost no swimmers understand what's going on. I think this video is wrong when he says you get power, but "less" power, from the up-kick. I don't think that's right. The up-kick is the "recovery" phase of the stroke. You are pushing with the down stroke, recovering with the upstroke.
that straighteningh while downkick and kinda relaxing during the up kick advide is actually awesome 🙂 also relaxing the ankles, my coach isn't too into details apparently lol. i'm used to pilates which requires very precise and slight movements/adjustments so i'm into this haha. thanks!
I have trouble trying to keep my legs straight, and toes pointed. The most that fustrates me is breathing. I know I'm supposed to blow from my nose underwater, but I just can't do it. Swimming is really hard for me.
Can't even tell ya how much I suck at swimming everyone in my class is better than me, even the fat and nonathletec and I'm neither. Boy do I HATE swim gym
Disappointed with this. I tend to do one leg kick while one arm pulling. I wanted to learn how to do it correctly. It doesnt show how fast do you have to kick, or what kind of rhythm to do regards timing with arms. This video shows too much arm action and upper body swimming while the legs arent even in the picture.
After many days of doing huge kicks and burning alot of energy i started to do this today and really used less energy and got further. Thanks for the great advice.
Good video. It answered very specific questions I had. Thank you!
We need the turn tutorial speedo!

i cannot move in water give me tips please
evillll
I can pull a 100 in 1:10 seconds but to kick a 100 it takes me 2:10 seconds.
Thank you! Great explanation
So basically splashing and kicking above the water will slow you down because our knees are bent
Nice, but the guy is making a windmill with his arms.
which is it…propel from the hip or the knee????
