Guys i have greatly improved my kick. Before I could kick 25 meters without board on 17.1-18.2 seconds. Now after empshasising my legs both in and out of water i timed myself for a 25 meters kick without board and i was amazed at the result. I went 14.21 without board. My swimming times have also improved greatly. So here is a kickin video of mine. It was done in a water polo pool (33 meters/22 meters).

Any thoughts on my kick will be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong. THANKSSSS
your kicking speed comes from a combination of your:
+ kicking technique, (some swimmers have better feel for the water with their feet)
+ jumping ability,
+ your streamline,
+ body position,
+ strength,
+ kicking conditioning,
+ body proportions, (head, torso ... )
+ foot size & flexibility,
+ knee hyperextension
+ expectations &
+ ability to get & stay psyched.
you can inprove all this with proper training
Ande
How does jumping ability factor in? Just for dives and push-offs? Or is there another way that I am missing?
