Freestyle kick, also known as flutter kick, is a simple and efficient kick used in the freestyle stroke.
Description
Initiate your kick from your hips and keep your ankles relaxed while kicking. When using a kickboard, hold the top with your hands and rest your arms on the board.
Key Points
Kick just beneath the surface of the water.
Kick from your hips and crack your ankles like a whip.
Focus on both the downward and upward portion of the kick.
Note
If you are unable to perform a drill based on lack of equipment or comfort level, swim freestyle.
