My instructor wants me to use a kickboard to improve my kicking. I forget to keep kicking in the freestyle.
When I use it, it seems to hurt my back which I guess is because my head is up to breathe.
Are there other alternatives to using a kickboard to improve (or remember) to kick?
TIA
I don't use a board - too tough on my wimpy shoulders.
When I flutter kick, I do streamlined dolphin (SDK) till I reach the surface and/or run out of air. Then I kick on my left side to the wall. Then SDK to the surface and kick on my right side back. I'm much faster SDK'ing than flutter kicking and much faster kicking on my left side than on my right.**
**though this isn't saying much... I'm still a pretty slow kicker no matter how I do it.
