Dear USMS swimmers,
I play waterpolo now for a certain amount of time. This go's very well; i know how to swim freestyle and how to breath. Also the sprinting is something i can handle. But when it comes to swim on technique, for example when i need to swim 2 km's, i just break down. I think this is probably because i have a lot of drag, by having the wrong kick method.
When i swim with a board to practise my flutter, i don't go forward at all. At the moment i started with waterpolo, i used to swim freestyle with breaststroke kick. Maybe there's just something wrong with getting the good kicking feeling.
Does anyone know how i can train this?
Thanks in advantage!

Thanks for your reactions guys.

My goal is to swim at least a KM, but rather two KM with freestyle stroke.
Thanks for the tips and the links according to the kicking. I think, like Ourswimmers says, laying in the water with a L shape foot because of the wrong technique. At the moment i'm swimming 3 times a week but i can make this 5 times, that's not a problem.
I will try swimming with flippers, see if i can get the feeling. And also on my back. I will keep you posted :)
