@@chunyuenlau56 Thanks for tuning in and for the comment. Why do you think kicking in streamline backstroke position is more effective than kicking with a board?
@Swimeasyspeed I got the info from other swimming channels. Also I thought that the kickboard would lift the front end, thereby lowering the lower part of your body thus producing drag?
@@chunyuenlau56 So there’s a couple things to think through. Get long on the water is about proper core engagement, but also about having a feel for balance on the water as your body lengthens out. So do you think lifting in the front would challenge you on how to find balance on the water? The second thing is if you don’t engage your core your lower part of your body would probably drop producing more drag. Do you think that might force you to engage your core a bit more than normal?
@@Swimeasyspeed Yeah I think that would force you to engage the core more. In fact, I started kicking with the board again today. I am only doing 1m50s at the moment, so I think better listen to someone who can do 55s per 100m at his fastest.
Great analysis.
Thank you for your time.
@@timudetimude Thanks for watching and the comment. I appreciate it.
Instead of kicking with a board, can you do backstroke streamline kick instead? Which is more effective in working the core?
