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?

    I haven't seen the book but my guess would be that the feet are coming out of the water because of a powerful upwards portion of the kick and not because of some special virtue due to kicking the feet out of the water. That is, the feet position is a result and not a goal in itself. Swim fast, Greg
