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

Here are two clips I found of kicking :
Michael Phelps and Me - YouTube ( I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA IF THAT WAS MICHAEL PHELPS OR NOT AND I DON'T CARE BUT BOTH KICKERS WERE PRETTY GOOD )
50 Kick - Wu Peng 28.0 and Matt Patton 28.8 - YouTube ( WATCH THE FLUTTER KICKERS )
Both are very fast and we can see that while these people are kicking fast they are clearly breaking the surface of the water with their heel. The fastest flutter kicker that I personally know kicks 29 seconds on a kickboard also does the same thing, he clearly breaks the surface of the water.
THANX TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES but I didn't get any suggestions on how to coordinate my arms and legs during the sprint. I am eagerly looking forward to some................................. Thanx again.
