sprint kickinq concept

I read this from S. Freas "Sprinting..." article. Look... Freas' Ten Essentials of Sprinting 7. Execute a high kick with the heels nine to fifteen inches out of the water. This gives better body position. I cant understand if my heels are out of the water nine to fifteen inches what I must kick water .. or air??? Can anyone explain me how such kick works?

He would ask your coaches how many sub 20.00 50 freestylers have they ever coached. I'm pretty sure at one point he had coached more than any other coach, ever. Does that mean he's right? I haven't read the whole book (cause I dont have it :( ), but I have read some parts form that book. Sure there isn't ONLY_ONE_RIGHT_SWIM_TECHNIQUE. Different coaches, different swimmers, different approaches... I always try different swim techniques to find my best, but here I can't understand Sam's logic, and I think I need Sam's email here ;))) to KenChertoff: Sprinting: A Coach's Challenge by Samuel James Freas.
