FREESTYLE KICK: BEST TIPS FOR IDEAL TECHNIQUE

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to perform freestyle kicks for maximum speed and efficiency. We start by explaining why kicks are essential for staying high in the water and how they boost your pace, noting that calm swimming typically involves only two kicks per two arm strokes. Next, we demonstrate key drills—both on land and in the pool—to develop proper kicking technique, including wall‑side drills and glide work with an arrow position to feel optimal speed. We also review common mistakes many swimmers make and show how to correct them, especially for triathletes who need efficient kicking to conserve energy. Regular practice of these drills is essential for improving overall performance.
