Just beware of toe cramps when your learning this

Sir Isaac Newton said that the only way humans figured out to go somewhere is to leave something behind so splashing is leaving something behind.

Wow. Nobody ever told me this or explained it properly. My coach just says " kick from the hip", which I don't even know what that means! Thank you so much for explaining it in plain English. Emglish

The cramps on your hammies are real for a beginners

Called rudimentary Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) basic technique for ALL levels and that’s NOT just for competitive swimming either. Selah. The primary goal of swimming SHOULD/MUST be to save lives so keep up technique taught at humble school swimming! Selah. School swimming SHOULD offer all students/teachers and parents the opportunity to learn and progress throughout the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) book up to Bronze Medallion level and beyond and this will work alongside competitive swimming club training and activities. It’s always about helping another to survive drowning in both water and applying principles to on land situation with techniques of medical training. RLSS to save and administer life saving treatment until paramedics/Red Cross and others arrive to assist. OMAIN (CREATION: competition goes to second place for saving a life and administering appropriate treatment is ALWAYS FIRST on the list of ALL life activity)

Why I needed nothing!!!????

I see no difference 😂

For ankle flexibility, I do ankle exercises while I'm seated watching TV. I do ankle exercises before I get out of bed. I use the calf extension machine, walk tiptoe and jump ups in the pool for warm ups. I'm 72 and need to keep moving so I can keep moving. My swimming speed and endurance have improved.

I am a swimmer ranked 9th in the USA for my 200 meter backstroke thank you for this tip

I have rather poor kick, despite I can swim for an hour without stops I feel my legs are not really delivering the drive. I applied this drill last time and I find this quite exhausting; I was able to do it for 10-15 seconds then my legs got tired. I hope this is sign that legs are not used to this kind of work. I will do this exercise every time I'm on swimming pool and I hope I'll get better in freestyle.

I've never seen a man with more graceful feet

I literally said: "damn!" when I saw the first kicks. Excellent form.

Also, one thing you can notice is that in the correct form, his legs maintain horizontal instead of sinking down. Generally, keeping your legs horizontal reduces resistance and makes you faster. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Beware:Do not use this trick in shallow water

How the heck are you still buoyant just kicking your feet.? I get in water and I’m buoyant as a rock

It looks a bit like the

omg you made that look effortless! Will give that a go today.

Good mini-tutorial

I’ll try this next time I’m in the pool. Thank you for the advice & demonstrations. I had no idea why swimming was so hard. Now I know!
