I feel like I get very little power from my whip kick.
I am making sure to make a nice big circle and squeeze my legs together, and I think my feet are pointed in the right direction.
When I practice it on the deck, my instructor says it looks great.
But when I do it in the water, it doesn't matter what I do, I get very little propulsion from my kick.
(When my instructor does it, she goes half way across the pool with one kick! =))
Are there any little hints and tips for whip kick? What's the key to getting power into the kick?
I am concerned about the "kick around".Once your feet are in the catch position they should NOT kick out. Since your feet are outside your knees they will follow a curve back,but the feeling is much more of kicking back than around.
