Why your kickboard is actually making you slower.
If you want to swim faster, it is time to put the kickboard away.
Most swimmers grab a board the second it is time for a kick set. But here is the hard truth: using a kickboard trains a horrible body position.
Here is how to fix your kick and eliminate drag:
⚓️ The Kickboard Trap: When your head and chest rest up high on a board, your hips naturally sink to the bottom. This creates massive drag and teaches your body to swim ""uphill.""
🚀 The Fix: Ditch the equipment and do the Streamline Kick Drill on your front or your back.
📐 Perfect Alignment: Locking your arms in a tight, squeezed streamline forces your hips high to the surface. This trains the exact horizontal body position you need to glide effortlessly.
Stop practicing bad habits and start training your body to actually cut through the water.
