Went diving this weekend and a fellow diver sent me videos he shot. I was horrified to see that I was bicycle kicking. Not the worst bicycle kicking that I've seen but it was definitely not nice to watch.
The next day I made a conscious effort to stretch out my legs during my flutter kicks but I don't have any video to determine if my kicking improved.
I looked for videos on drills you can do out of the water to improve technique and came across one that said to do what we called flutter kicks in the Army. Lie on your back, hands underneath your butt and do flutter kicks with your feet 6" off the ground. Any other recommendations?
And yes I do also use frog kicks. I have seawing novas which some say you can't use for frog kicks but I'm able to use them when there's little or no current. For a bit more current I flutter kick.
