  • Do you feel like your not going anywhere or even going backwards when attempting to flutter kick? Well rest easy many triathletes and first time swimmers have the same problem. In this video Lukas shows you a simple and easy to understand process that is sure to give you many eureka and "aha" moments in your own flutter kicking.
    Improving your ability to kick will make you a faster and more efficient swimmer. If your training for triathlon being efficient in the water is even more imperative, as it will help you conserve more energy in the swim leg of the race, which in turn will allow you to be quicker in the other two sports. Dont give into the myth that triathletes dont need to know how to kick, watch this video and become a faster swimmer now!

    I was one of those people not moving at all while I was kicking. It was so embarrassing that I stopped trying. After practice everything on this video, I did focus on stretching for few weeks first, now I feel so much more confident when I go swimming. I am proud to say that I can move pretty fast just kicking. Thank you so much for this video!!!

    Honestly I pay hundreds of pounds for swimming and I am not taught these BASICS! I have been learning to swim since January!!!! Have been to 4 swimming teachers. Really tricky when you're an adult. I start with a new swimming teacher next Wednesday. I think I am not kicking from my hips? I think I am using my legs? Really unsure but sometimes it feels like you're wriggling? Is that what kicking from hips is? Your videos are really a life saver. Thank you.

    Just home from my first ever swimming lesson at the age of 65. Never too late! I looked up kicking, as I was pretty terrible at it. Found it hard to get my legs high in the water. Maybe lack of flexibility at hips and back? This excellent video is a real eye opener though. Thank you. I’ll practice some of these exercises before my next lesson!

    @PompeyBoy66 2 роки тому

    This is good coaching. I lol at the swimmer who hadnt moved 24 hours later as that is me. I have swum for 25 years but I don't use a kick as I found I was dead after a length, as you say, but I try to flutter my legs a bit to try to stop them dropping in the water and so acting as a break against me. My catch and pull is improving as I am reaching straight forward from the shoulder, gliding till I complete the other arm stroke , keeping fingers and hand like a padel blade , stretching and rotating to get more power from the pectorals as I push the water behind me, and gliding like Grahame Thorpe. I don't know how to kick or tumble turn or dolphin kick in the turn yet.

I started by floating on my back. I realized I was too tensed up. I relaxed a bit to start kicking and looked to my side I could see myself moving faster and got excited 😂! I felt like a fish. I’ll be doing these exercises today to see if it improves my speed. I tried vertical kicking as well and boy did it work my thighs. I can stay up maybe 10 seconds but it’s a struggle! I mess up by forgetting to scull and start sinking 😂! I’m confident I’ll get it though.
