Hello,
I am a fitness swimmer. I need help with my freestyle kicking. When I use a kick board.. I barely propel through the water. I am having trouble flexing at the hip joint... I tend to keep bending my knee joint. I have heard that vertical kicking drills help. Are there any other suggestions or resources on the web that anyone can reccommend??
Thanks

You also are probably not keeping your kick relaxed. The more you fight against it the worse it is. One coach who used to coach the kids team when they were small used to tell the kids they have to have floppy feet. She got them to relax their feet and therefore get more fluid with the kick instead of bicycling.
