I notice that emphasis is always made on "narrow" flutter kicks when I watch freestyle DVDs. Why do flutter kicks have to be narrow?
Is there any good solution/drill for correcting wide flutter kicks? I happen to have very wide flutter kicks and wonder if that's one of the reasons for being slow.
I think the reason for a narrow flutter kick is so your legs stay "in your wake" and don't make your swimming profile any larger than it needs to be. Keeping your legs/feet "inside your shadow" so to speak will result in a better streamlined position and less drag/resistance when moving through the water.
