@swimsy.co: Your breaststroke kick is slowing you down ↓ ❌ Wrong: Knees go too wide • Knees spread out to the sides during the bend • Feet stay far apart (shoulder-width or more) • The kick turns into a wide “squat” position What happens: • You push water sideways instead of back • Huge resistance → body slows down • Kick loses power and direction • You waste energy but don’t move forward It feels like a big kick… but gives you almost nothing. ✅ Correct: Compact bend + controlled width • Knees bend slightly (not to 90°) • Legs stay relatively narrow • Distance between leg ≈ one hand span • Feet turn out → then kick in a semicircle and close together What changes: • You catch the water properly • Power goes backward → real propulsion • Less drag during the setup • Strong kick + longer glide Think: not “open your knees”, but “stay compact → catch → close” 💡 Simple cue: “Keep it narrow — about one hand span, not shoulder-width.” Too wide = you’re pushing water sideways, not moving forward. Save this — a small fix in your kick changes everything. SWIMSY PADDLES - designed to build real feel of the water, not just strength. The soft resistance helps you understand how to hold and control water during the catch, so you stop slipping and start moving forward with each stroke.
