Swim Tips from Coach Mark-

 

 1.  Freestyle Kicking Tips

            -start with a drive at the hips

            -power builds through your thighs, shins, and ankles to your toes

            -should a be smooth, comfortable, relaxed movement

            -keep kick no deeper or wider than your width of your shoulders

 

2.  Butterfly Kicking Tips

            -a good kick starts with flexibility (ankles, calf muscles, hips, and thighs)       

-should be strong and powerful

            -kick in both directions with great speed and acceleration and with equal force

 

3.  Breaststroke Kicking Tips

            -think long and strong, but comfortable

            -try to minimize the number of kicks per lap

            -always aim to accelerate through the kick (legs together)

            -think “back, down, and around, and squeeze”

 

The Benefits of an Effective and Powerful Kick

-efficient strokes (helps achieves maximum distance per stroke)

-improved core strength, balance and rhythm

-less impact on upper body

-faster in/out of turns

-faster breakout strokes

-faster finish (first to the wall)

-faster times overall!
