I've noticed that when I kick on my back I really move...when I kick on my stomach it's not as fast. I wouldn't mind so much but I can only do so much backstroke due to an old rotator cuff injury. So...other than kicking (because I am getting really frustrated) what can I do to get my freestyle flutter more effective? Any dryland? I notice that there is rarely any "whitewater" when I kick, even when I feel like I'm kicking hard. I do see "boiling" though. If that even makes sense...Thanks:)
Huh, I have the exact opposite problem, I can't kick on my back.
do you bend your knees? typically the biggest problems I see with people kicking on their back is moving their legs like they are riding a bicycle and not keeping the head back. both factors combined make their legs and hips sink, and you go no where.
head back and the kick should a long loose one from the hips to the ankles.
