So i'm glad to say that im finally improving, I've been getting a lot of help from people in the swim club and I was just wondering if you guys can give me tips on my kicking. For some reason I can't do more then like, 100 kick without my legs being dead tired. When we do the drills at swim practice i always see everyone flying across the pool, water splashing all over the place and everyone with their heads up. where as i can't splash with my kicks unless i keep my face under water because if i don't then my hips sick and i find myself being slanted sort of like this / (not as exaggerated of course). And another thing, when we do pull drills where we just use our arms, I find that i can pretty much go forever, but when im doing regular freestyle laps, i get really tired really fast. SO obviously when im incorporating the kicks into my stroke it's really tiring me out so i dont know what to do. Lastly, on my arm stroke i find that when ever i turn to breath my elbow always drops, is there any drills that you guys can tell me to help out with these issues? thanks again everyone.

When we did our water polo practices we would do a few 15 yard kicks accross the pool. We locked our hands together behind our backs and held our heads out of the water. Before you knew it you could do it easily. As we got better we would do a continueous relays 25 yards doing head up crawl with a waterpolo ball. Through in to the relay a few 25 yard kicks with hands locked behind the back.
When hands are locked behind the back they were extended as far down as you can get them at the bottom of the butt. This type of kicking also help eliminate what I call a runners kick. Dolphins description is what I call Runners kick.
