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've been thinking about the problem, and I think the scissoring happens because I don't rotate my lower body enough. If I try to rotate the upper body while keeping the lower body flat, the legs naturally spread apart to counterbalance - even when I do this exercise on dry land.
I think I also have the same problem with you on this one. When I rotate to breathe I tend to kick to counterbalance of my upper body.
Knelson, is there any drill to correct this one? or any drill to learn how to rotate the entire body?
