    my coach told me to use the kickboard and do 50 meters of flutter kick, and that was like the biggest nightmare ever for me. I kicked off the wall, and then i tried every single position, heads down in water with hands stretched out barely touching the kickboard, moving my legs with my quads/hips, toes totally pointed, did not move an inch, it was absolutely ridiculous. I can totally tell even under water that I was not moving at all. Coach noticed that but he honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I really need to get a pair of fins. Does this have to be zoomers, or does any type of fin help? Thanks! *sigh*
