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!

I have to say i'm getting some progression here. I've been doing more kicking exercises, also on my back with one hand stretched backwards to keep balanced. Never managed to come forward, but we've got some improvements here. Instead of switching to the breaststroke to restore, I take a short break and switch to freestyle again. Thanks again for the tips.
Is it healthy to swim every day? Or is it preferable to give your muscles a break?
