How far can you go with a flutter kick? Those who are skilled can move more than 3 meters forward, while those who struggle may only go 1 meter, and some may not move forward at all. Today, I will share three key tips for mastering the flutter kick, which will help you move smoothly through the water. If you've been worried about your flutter kick being weak or if you've been stuck in place no matter how hard you try, please pay close attention to this video and practice at the pool afterward.

The first key tip for the flutter kick is to keep your hips and the soles of your feet in the same position. One characteristic of those who struggle to move forward, even when they are trying hard with their flutter kick, is that the position of their feet, which should be pushing the water, is inconsistent. The flutter kick is...

The kick should not be executed by pressing the water with the instep, but rather by pushing the water with the sole of the foot. Therefore, the position of the kick is very important. When the waist and hips are positioned close to the surface of the water and the legs are properly bent, it creates the optimal position for a balanced kick. However, many people tend to adopt incorrect postures. One common mistake is having the waist and hips too high, causing the lower body to sink in the water. Another frequent issue is bending only the knees, which results in the feet coming out of the water. If the lower body position is not properly formed while performing a balanced kick, it becomes very difficult to move forward effectively due to a lack of power transfer. Therefore, it is essential to correct the power position. As a practice method, it is more effective to hold onto the wall and maintain the correct position rather than using a kickboard while floating in the water.

It is more effective to practice after learning. However, it can be difficult to assess whether the lower body position is properly formed, so having an instructor or coach nearby to guide you on your position can make it easier to correct the 평양 kick stance. The second point is the position of bending the legs. The 평양 kick operates on the principle of pushing water backward through the force generated by bending the legs, which propels you forward. You need to reduce the resistance that occurs during the leg-bending process and push the water as strongly as possible to achieve maximum speed with a single kick. The optimal way to create efficiency is to bend the legs as much as possible at a suitable speed and push strongly. Instead of explaining this all at once, it is better to look at the movements in parts. First, we need to observe the process of bending the legs. If you try to bend your legs quickly, your body will tense up, causing the movement to break.

However, if you gradually bend your legs at a moderate speed, your body won't tense up, and you'll experience less resistance, allowing for a natural transition to the next movement. If you rush the balance kick, the stroke and kick won't connect smoothly. Next, you might wonder how much you should bend your legs. You should aim to bend them to the maximum extent. This is because the propulsion generated when you fully bend and then extend your legs is much stronger than the resistance created while bending them. Therefore, it is far more efficient than just bending them moderately. The balance kick is similar to a jumping motion; bending your knees slightly and then jumping is less effective than bending them sufficiently before jumping, as this generates more power. Similarly, for the balance kick, bending your legs adequately before pushing off will create a stronger force than just bending them slightly.

will not be effective. The timing of bending the ankle is crucial. When you are in a streamlined position, the ankle plays a vital role in pushing the water. It is a body part that requires careful attention. No matter how good your streamlined kick position is or how excellent your stroke is, if you cannot effectively push the water with your ankle, you will not be able to move forward efficiently in a streamlined position.

The ankle is extremely important for balance, almost to the point of being indispensable. So, what position should the ankle be in during a balance kick? It should be pulled towards the shin to effectively push the water, and then released at the moment of impact to maximize the water displacement. When viewed from behind, the ankle should be in a bent position, resembling the shape of the letter J, as shown on the screen. If this position is not achieved and the ankle is fully extended during a giant kick, it will not push the water but rather strike it. Therefore, you need to consistently practice pulling the ankle back. Once you have established the correct position for pulling the ankle, you must also understand the timing for this action. If you pull the ankle back as soon as you start bending your legs, you will encounter a lot of resistance. Conversely, if you pull the ankle back only after fully bending your legs, there will be a momentary pause, which will affect the water displacement.

Finding the optimal position to push is very difficult. Therefore, the best timing to pull the ankle is when the legs are almost fully bent. You should bend the ankle as late as possible and push the knee. This way, you can reduce resistance and properly create the kick position. To find the optimal timing for bending the ankle, you should slowly bend it when the legs are bent halfway. Of course, it's rare to succeed on the first try, and even if you succeed once, it doesn't mean you'll consistently do well, so you need to practice steadily. Additionally, I recommend practicing by holding onto a wall first, as this allows you to focus entirely on your legs before transitioning to the kickboard. Finally, at the end point, you must use your ankle to push the water away as much as possible to achieve a perfect balanced kick. At the end point, push the water away with your ankle until the very end.

If you don't do it, it's like not finishing the freestyle stroke at the end, so please pay attention to this. To summarize today's content: First, you need to keep your hips and the soles of your feet in the same position. No matter how hard you try to do the flutter kick, if your posture is not correct, it will be difficult to move forward. This is because the flutter kick is a technique that propels you forward by pushing the water, and if the soles of your feet come out of the water and cannot exert force, or if the angle of your torso is not forward but rather your lower body is being dragged, you will not move forward. For optimal power in the flutter kick, your hips, soles of your feet, and waist should be in a straight line. 

Second, the position of bending your legs. In the flutter kick, when you bend your legs, you need to minimize resistance as much as possible, and when you push, you need to exert as much force as possible. An efficient flutter kick requires you to bend your legs as much as possible before pushing strongly. However,

If you bend your legs slightly, you won't be able to exert enough force, and if you bend your legs quickly, your body will momentarily stiffen, interrupting the movement. The third point is the timing of bending your ankles. The key to the propulsion of a balanced kick is pushing your knees with the soles of your feet, and the timing of pulling your ankles towards your shins is very important. If you bend your legs while simultaneously bending your ankles, a lot of resistance will occur. After fully bending your legs, if you then pull your ankles, it becomes too difficult. Therefore, you should pull your ankles just as you are about to fully bend your legs. Checking the three points I shared today will greatly help upgrade your balanced kick.
