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
Nice kicking video!
I swam at Long Beach (Phillips 66) in the late 70's and we did a lot of kicking with a board (usual warm up set for our aching legs: 5 x 200 kicking). My PB for 100 yards butterfly kick with a board back then was about 1:00 (but my memory is pretty hazy).
Tim Shaw (anybody remember him?) could easily kick a 100 yards in 55 seconds. He used to do kick sets with tennis shoes and one of his favorite things to do was to use a table like a kick board. He looked like a ski-doo!
I think almost all of the Olympic caliber swimmers at Phillips 66 had tremendous kicking speed.
For what it's worth, I think it would be fun to do a postal kick event (25, 50, 100, 200) in each stroke.
