why head above the water when kicking with kick board?
Former Member
that is my general observation in the pool. Is there some reason for that? why not submerge the head when kicking? Is that better for developing leg and hip strength?
Thanks.

For half of my workout I use a small triangular board and if I kept my head above water all the time I would be back where I started 2 years ago(severe lower back pain).
I have found that my head naturally want's to turn to the side with my chin tucked over my shoulder and I switch up sides every other lap(so I can keep an eye on the other swimmers).
A nice side effect is that I get a good stretch in between my sets.
