https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/5360/practice-with-boardhi, I try practising freestyle kick with a board, but I am moving may be inches for a couple of kick. This makes this practice too tiring. I see others practising moving faster with the boards. Let me know what is the problem. thanks.en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/69705?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Jun 2007 15:38:03 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:8451c63a-5644-4b34-acf6-e3eb41ff92b3Former MemberTry kicking from the hip, that should help you keep your legs straight! Good luck! :wave:<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/69613?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Jun 2007 10:56:58 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:64c549aa-67e7-457b-9549-4bc29abfefecFormer MemberKeep the feet and toes pointed. Some people new to swimming tend to kick as if they are kicking a ball. Not good. I have seen this with a few runners who experienced difficulty. When they pointed their toes...and tried not to bend their knees too much...they made big improvements. This is a good web site for swimming tips... <a href="http://www.svl.ch/svlimmat_ratind.html#schwimmen">www.svl.ch/svlimmat_ratind.html</a><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/69600?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Jun 2007 05:32:50 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9b50af38-d28c-44a6-bd7c-a7cad0e82960Jeff CommingsDon&#39;t judge yourself in workout based on how others are doing. You&#39;ll go crazy in a few days. You might not be a good kicker. Don&#39;t worry about it. You can still be a good swimmer. Ask your coach to study your kick. There might be some technical changes to make to help. If you&#39;re new to the sport, or new to kick sets, you might need to give your legs time to adjust and strengthen. Or, you can try kicking without a board. I suggest that to people anyway because it keeps your body in a better aligned position.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
