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.
I'm a newby swimmer and started really kicking just over a week ago, my legs die near a good 100 too. Before, it was just a lazy 2 kick pattern, even during sprinting. I wanted to learn the stroke, get fitness, then start on my kick after to help avoid bad habitual technique. But yes, my leg's become sand bags quick. I do notice if I'm kicking wrong (feet, knee pos,etc) I loose the propulsive feeling on my feet no matter how fast. Happens when I'm loosing steam.
