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.......................
I'm not an expert kicker by any stretch but it looks like you are over-kicking. What I mean is you are kicking more air than water. Perhaps the legs a bit closer to the water would be more effective.
I'm not a sprinter so if I'm wrong maybe this response will stimulate a good discussion.
