Ditto.....Well said! fly kick is the most important part of fly train to be an awesome kicker work on your SDK form and speed perfect the timing and proportions of your movements copy ian crocker and michael phelps do a lot of fast kicking, pay attention to your times for 25, 50, 75, 100 150's & 200's keep your head in a neutral position when the head goes up the hips go down (and you apply aqua brakes)

This past summer I JUST got good at butterfly and was doing great at it. But i was out for 2 months and now after 1 month of hard practice, i still can't get the kick down. Everytime i kick, i feel like my legs are not pushing the water at all, it's like i'm kicking nothing. For example, in the second kick i do in butterfly (the kick that you do at the same time your hands come out) i go nowhere. It feels like i'm sinking in the water after the stroke and kick. TY :)
