@swimsy.co: Who are you when trying to stay afloat? ↓ 🥚 The Eggbeater You move your legs in alternating circular motions, almost like doing breaststroke kick one leg at a time. How to do it: • Keep your knees bent and slightly apart • Rotate each leg in a circle • One leg moves while the other follows • Keep the movement continuous and relaxed Why it works: It creates constant upward force without needing your hands. 💡 This is the technique commonly used in water polo because players need to keep their upper body high while using their arms freely. 🐬 The Butterfly Kick You move both legs together in a dolphin-like motion. How to do it: • Keep your legs together • Start the movement from your hips • Let the wave travel through your knees to your feet Why it works: It can give you a strong upward push, but it uses more energy and is harder to maintain for long. 🐸 The Breaststroke Kick You use a small breaststroke kick underneath your body. How to do it: • Bring your heels toward your hips • Turn your feet slightly outward • Push the water outward and backward • Bring your legs together Why it works: Each kick gives you a strong lift and lets you relax briefly between movements. 🏊 The Freestyle Kick You use small alternating kicks while keeping your body almost vertical. How to do it: • Start the kick from your hips • Keep your knees relaxed • Make small, quick movements • Keep your ankles loose Why it works: It’s simple and familiar, but usually requires more continuous effort to keep your head above water. ✅ There isn’t only one way to stay afloat. Each can work depending on how much lift, control, and energy you need. #swimtok #swim #swimcoach
