Guys, I seem to kick pretty fast without a board but when I swim at max speed or close to that speed I can't seem to kick like that. My legs drop in the water. I can't kick out of the water which I believe is very much essential to sprinting fast. I believe you guys can help my with this problem. Here's a video of me kicking at a moderate pace without board. I used two strokes in the end and you can see that as soon as I started to stroke my legs dropped :

So what is the solution to this problem ? HOW can I connect that without board kick with my full stroke swimming which I believe will make me a lot faster sprinter. Thanx in advance to you all.......................

Hey Popeye.Tom, glad you liked my easy swim. My legs really drop when I try to swim faster. heres another video of me doing a 80-85 percent intensity swimming :

Here you can't see my legs during the swim. My best time for a 25 m without board kick is just under 14 seconds and my best time for 50 freestyle LCM is 24.6 or maybe lower now but I think with a kick like that I should go a lot faster than 24.6. I just don't know how to combine my kick to the whole stroke. The drills you suggested seemed very interesting to me. I definitely will be doing them from my next sessions. Thank you for your suggestions dude.
