@richee5005: Why Kicking More Makes You Tire Faster Big splashes and a wide flutter kick can make freestyle feel harder than it needs to. If you’re kicking mostly from your knees, you may be using extra energy and creating drag. For a smoother, more efficient swim: ✅ Kick small from your hips ✅ Keep a slight bend in your knees and relax your ankles ✅ Keep your feet near the surface For distance swimming, try a 2-beat kick: one downkick as each opposite hand enters the water. Right leg with left-hand entry; left leg with right-hand entry. Let the kick help your body rotate while your arms carry you forward. Kick with purpose. Save energy for the whole swim. #FreestyleSwimming #SwimmingTechnique #TwoBeatKick #FlutterKick #DistanceSwimming
