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.
Crozen,
As someone who was where you are now, my only advice is kick more, kick more, kick more. And just because your legs are dead, doesn't mean you can't kick more. Just try to slow your kick down slightly and try to feel the water with the tops of your feet. Try to keep just your heel breaking the surface of the water.
It does get better, I'm finally doing ALL of a kick set and actually looking forward to it.
