I'm devoting a few weeks to a lot of kicking. Is that beneficial to my whole stroke? Of course I'll be doing whole strokes, but I'm focusing a lot on my kicks this week and the next.
So, my question is: is using a kickboard okay for *** kick? I've heard that some say that it makse your butt sink, which is NOT okay, and yes, I actually take more kicks to cover one length on a kickboard than on a kickboard with a pull buoy to make my butt float to the surface, despite the less power.
Which brings me to my second question: how about kicking on a kickboard with a pull buoy between my legs? I know it helps me keep my legs close when I kick, but if I keep on doing this will I be too dependent on the pull buoy to make my butt get near the surface, so that if the buoy is removed my butt will sink? Or is a pull buoy okay?
Lemme know your views on this! Thanks!

Warm up with a *** stroke kick for atleast 200 yards at a nice and easy pace. This will help a lot. I cannot over recomend doing the kick with a snorkle. It really allows you to do the kick with undulation and streamlining like you do in full stroke. Plus, it really allows you to completly focus on the bottom half of your stroke without the complication of breathing.
