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.......................
This isn't necessarily true becuase perhaps the acceleration you can generate while in the air might lead to some momentum that can help you move quickly through the water...
Not exactly...when you drag air down into the water and kick, you're not moving against the water, you're moving against the air, which won't give you as much propulsion. The same effect with the arm pulls. This is why you should try to "clean" your hands of air bubbles as quickly as possible.
