Finning efficiency is not about kicking harder — it’s about transferring energy correctly. 🦵🌊 When the kick starts from the hips, the movement travels through the entire leg: 🔥 Hips initiate the movement ➡️ Thigh follows ➡️ Knee stays relaxed ➡️ Lower leg continues the motion ➡️ Ankle stays extended ➡️ Fin loads and releases the energy The entire leg participates in displacing water, creating a longer and more efficient propulsion phase. The fin becomes the extension of the movement — not the source of it. 🏊‍♂️💨 Now compare this with a knee-dominant kick. ❌ When there is little or no movement from the hips, the knees start leading. 🦵 The knees move forward outside the body’s streamlined profile. 🌊 The effective stroke becomes shorter. ⚡ Most of the force is concentrated on the lower leg and fin. 🧱 Frontal resistance increases. 🔋 More muscular energy is required for less propulsion. Instead of: HIP → LEG → ANKLE → FIN → PROPULSION ✅ You get: KNEE → FIN → ENERGY LOSS ❌...
