Kick Techniques

I'm aiming to improve my long distance swimming. I've seen reference to 2 and 6 beat kicks. I've looked on youtube and such but haven't seen anything that clearly shows how it works. Could someone please explain it to me and point me in the right direction? Thanks, David

  • Ankle flexibility is indeed a major component of an effective kick. I am constantly striving for a better foot point position. I sit on my heels with the feet in the point position. I also find that kicking with long fins loosens up my ankles. I remember that a number of years ago Marty Hull sold a device that improved ankle flexibility. Haven't seen it advertised for awhile.
