Developing the proper flutter kick starts to teach swimmers about how less is more, and focusing during kick sets can help make you a better swimmer.
why do it?
Flutter kick is the most used kick in swimming, so you can consider this a foundational aspects of competitive simming.
Learning how to harness the power of your body, while not over kicking will be an important lesson when learning the details of the other strokes.
how to do it?
1- Start from the front, not the kick (수영장 벽을 차고 출발하면서 발 차기를 한다- 스트림라인을 만든다)
push off with your kick board. and focus on keeping the hands in a near streamline, with the head low and looking forward. Dont' be looking around at your friends.
2- Move your focus to your hips, (힙으로부터 발차기를 시작한다.. 힙이 수면 가까이에 머물러야 한다)
try to make sure they're just touching the surface of the water. Body alignment is very important when using equipment.
3- Now shift your focus back to your legs (발차기시에 힙의 근육(큰볼기근)이 힘들고 피곤해져야 한다...허벅지(넓적다리)가 아니다)
If you feel any muscles tiring, make sure it's the hips and not the thighs first.
Try to discover which muscles tire initially, and that can help you learn if your kick is on it's way to being productive.
4- Finally shift your focus to your feet. (발에 집중....물표면아래 머물러거나 조금만 물밖으로 나와야 한다)
Try to keep them lower than the surface of the water. The foot should only come out a bit, not high above the surface. How to do it really well ( the fine points)
Keep the toes pointed, and the kick narrow. The Knees should bend, but not too much
(발끝을 펴고 킥폭을 작게 해서 찬다..무릅을 반드시 조금만 굽혀야 한다.) you can see that the leags appear to barely bend at all, and certainly not at any drastic angle.
you have to keep in mind that you're not only trying to devlop an effective kick, but you're also trying to hide your legs behind the hole that the body cuts in front of them through the water. (효율적인 킥을 개발하고, 몸이 물을 가를때 다리가 그 구멍의 뒤에 숨겨져야 한다)
This is where "less is more" becomes very evident. By keeping the kick smaller, you create less resistance, and reuire less power (킥폭을 더 작게 찰수록 저항도 적게 만들어지고 적은 힘을 요구한다)
understanding these concepts of learing at an early age can lead to other great discoveries in how to swim Fast when you get older, and bigger, and stronger (조금이라도 어린나이에 이런 개념을 이해하는게 수영을 더 빠르게 해준다)
