Can anyone recommend an adult (long - 20") kickboard that is NOT rigid? Our gym had these great semi-pliable long kickboards that I've yet to find online. The last one I ordered was too short and hurts my back.
Wish I tried this drill when I was learning to swim.
Did about 200 this drill followed by a moderate effort fr sprint and I swear it made everything link together, there was a disconnect before. Staple drill for me now on. Performed drill with each kick on the same side of the down shoulder. Had to do mini kicks for balance but once it clicked I was actually moving forward at ok momentum. I tried it the other way too, kicking on the up shoulder side, but didnâ€t move fast enough to maintain balance.I'm glad you liked it. I got this drill from a Total Immersion coach who called it, if I recall right, Floppy Fish, but I don't think that's the technical name :). I've been trying to look for a video online to demonstrate it, but will have to keep looking or see if I can film one myself. I really love this drill, as well, because it promotes such great whole body focus / awareness / connection.
