Help My Flutter Kick is Horrible!

Former Member

I am slow, and when I mean slow, I mean slow. I can do a 26 sec 50 with fins, but without I come in just under 1:20! I think a big part of it is just taking the fins off and doing a lot of kick sets to learn to feel the water better with my feet. I have a good breaststroke kick so I don't think my problem is an overly weak pair of legs, although they could be in better shape. Also, myankles are fairly flexible as I can point my toes and make my feet bend backwards past an even position with my shins. However, I do think that I need to loosen up my ankles when I kick. I feel like I get more out of my kick for those brief moments when I allow my ankles to snap back and forth with my kick. I think I actually need to relax more to kick faster as weird as that sounds. I suppose the answer to my question is that I simply need to take of the fins and do kick set after kick set until I learn to feel the water better with my feet and become more efficient.

I've read most of this string and I have just now gotten started. And it really ain't pretty. .34 25 yard kick with a board. .72 50 yard kick with a board. I go 1:18 for a scy 100 so you can see that I'm all upper body right now. The women all laugh at me until we switch to pull buoys. Then I kill'em! Ande, I've started practicing the SDK. I still need to have someone time me but it feels as though I'm slowing my turns down by using it. I know that this will change over time but that'e where I'm at. I'll stert tomorow going w/o a board too.
