Video link shows I have this crazy scissor kick, it is only when I swim. When I kick only, the kick is more normal. Please look at the video and help me. It is a 50 yd swim but I pause at 25 yds. So please view both angles. I thought I was more streamlined. Good grief, I was wrong. Anyway, here I am swimming slow after a lifting session. My kicking is disgusting. My legs are all over the place. Too much bend in the knees. Hips too low. Maybe too much hip rotation. Definitely too much rotation when breathing. Grrr. Hands aren't relaxed. I thought I was reaching on my front end stroke but that is not the case either. What is my real problem? How can I fix it fast? I can't feel what I am doing wrong. I would love some drills. The good news is it looks like room for lots of improvement. Ande and Fortress, I have been reading all your tips and blogs and practicing. So I would love to hear from you too. .March32012fs - YouTube
