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?
Some say Masters should have their legs slightly wider to put less strain on the knees. Others say Masters should have a narrower kick to put less strain on the knees.You need to experiment for your self,8 in.seems about right to me.
