As previously stated in other posts I'm a "newer" swimmer in respect to trying to get better at it.....My kick is awful. I've been working on ankle flexibility out of the water and doing kick drills with and without fins.....although I'm getting better, I'm still so slow on the kicking.....will it eventually come around as my body gets stronger and more flexible in the right places? I've only been seriously trying for about 60 days, so I recognize more time is needed.....
Well Larry...some swimmers, like me, just don't have a kick. I've been swimming for more than 40 years. At various times I have tried in vain to develope a (flutter) kick...doing drills for months, years. Even coaches can't help. In a 25m pool it takes me about three minutes to get to the other end. I'm so slow with my kick that if I'm doing a kicking drill in lane 1 or 6...as I pass a return jet...it pushes me over into the laneline.
