Why do flutter kicks have to be narrow?

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.

  • Your entire body should rotate like you've got a skewer stuck right through you. Breathing (ideally) then just becomes a matter of opening your mouth when you're rotating to whatever side you want to breathe on. Realistically you're going to have to turn your head some, but it should be coupled with the rotation of your entire body.
