Your Legs Aren’t Propulsion — They’re Balance “Still trying to kick harder to fix your freestyle? That’s not the problem — your legs are there to balance, not to push you forward.” In glide freestyle, your kick is not your engine - it’s your stabilizer. Overkicking creates drag. It burns oxygen. And worst of all, it breaks your timing. The real job of your legs? To keep your body flat, hips high, and rhythm smooth. A two-beat kick is enough - as long as it’s timed with your stroke and rotation. The energy comes from the front - the legs just keep the line connected. RESULT: You reduce drag, move more efficiently, and stop wasting energy where it doesn’t pay off. 📸 markus_marthaler • • • • • #swimming #swim #swimmer #swimmingpool #triathlon #pool #swimbikerun #triathlete #swimteam #swimmers #swimlife #swimcoach #swimsuit #swimmerslife #swimpractice #swimmemes #swimtraining #swimmeet #swimmerproblems #backstroke #freestyle #swimclub #swimmingmemes #breaststroke #butterfly #comp...
