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.......................

@ Redbird alum : when I try to kick fast without breaking the surface with my heel I don't go very fast. I think breaking the surface with my heel makes my kick a lot faster.
@ gaash : Don't understand these momentum or acceleration etc. things. I just find that breaking the surface with the heel makes me go a lot faster compared to the other way that is suggested by some here.
@ jaadams1 : How do you clean the air bubbles around your hand during a 50 meter or 25 meter all out freestyle ?????
