Kick It Up

Kicking is fundamental to your stroke so it's important to push your kicking to the next level. When kicking with a kickboard, your feet will emerge from the water and kick air. Maybe not a lot, but at least a little. One way to get the most out of your kicking is to head to the deep end and do some vertical kicking.

You can tackle vertical kicking several ways. Breaststroke kick, flutter kick and dolphin kick are all options. First kick with your arms in the water. Then try crossing your arms across your chest. For a real test of spirits, continue kicking while your hands are above your head.
