Videos to Watch
We’ve been talking a lot about the underwater kick in practice. Our kicks should be narrow but strong, and we should be kicking equally in both directions. Here is an excellent video by Gary Hall Sr. and The Race Club that demonstrates three different kinds of kicks and how efficient they each are. They use underwater cameras and a velocity machine to measure the velocity (speed over distance) of each kick.
