I was one of those people not moving at all while I was kicking. It was so embarrassing that I stopped trying. After practice everything on this video, I did focus on stretching for few weeks first, now I feel so much more confident when I go swimming. I am proud to say that I can move pretty fast just kicking. Thank you so much for this video!!!
Bruh, you just demystified my sinking legs nightmare! My swimming teacher needs to watch this video and subscribe to your channel like I did! Standing ovation!
Thank you! How's your progress? We have switched this channel back to active so expect consistent videos!
Great video. I'm just learning and after 3 lessons, I'm still that person kicking in the same place for 24 hours. :-) can't wait to try some of your suggestions. Thanks!
Thanks! It will work just be patient with yourself👌
I'm in this situation after 4 lessons
omg same here! i can float and do the basics, also on lesson 3, but for the life of me cannot move anywhere
Same after 7 lessons
Same after 10 lessons 😭
Omg! This is exactly what I was looking for!!! All my teachers have this long experience swimming so this little details can’t explained it to the beginners as me. Thanks 🙏
Just home from my first ever swimming lesson at the age of 65. Never too late! I looked up kicking, as I was pretty terrible at it. Found it hard to get my legs high in the water. Maybe lack of flexibility at hips and back? This excellent video is a real eye opener though. Thank you. I’ll practice some of these exercises before my next lesson!
Your instructions and drills are spot on and help people like me who wish to swim smoothly! Thank you!
So they glad they helped! Thanks for watching!
Honestly I pay hundreds of pounds for swimming and I am not taught these BASICS! I have been learning to swim since January!!!! Have been to 4 swimming teachers. Really tricky when you're an adult. I start with a new swimming teacher next Wednesday. I think I am not kicking from my hips? I think I am using my legs? Really unsure but sometimes it feels like you're wriggling? Is that what kicking from hips is? Your videos are really a life saver. Thank you.
this video explains better than any other professional swimming channel
U made me realize my kicking problem.. my feet are not floppy! I have stiff ankles. Will try your exercise. Thanks bro!
yes its very important, my pleasure !
I had surgery, can t swim for 6 weeks. Watching this, i can' t wait to start again. Thanks!!!
i am an age group competitive swimmer and coach. My first impression was "this guy will just speak..." , but when i watched and waited more,i noticed that i should stress more on some essential drills, and use your way, thank you.
Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!
You are the best!
I love bouncing off the bottom of the pool and kicking vertically.
I am 86 and I give swimming tips to all age swimmers. You can make a person so happy by improving his swim capability.
Thanks for your tips. Get swimming tips from the Siska Swimming Academy. “.
This is the best and most comprehensive video on how to improve your flutter kick. Great job Lucas!
Thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching! Stay tuned more to come ;) wish you all the best
Holy cow! Wish I had seen this video months ago. This is exactly what I needed! Why haven't I see videos like this anywhere else? Thank you!
Thanks Lucas! I did not realize the motion came from the hip!
Most valuable Siska, I have been struggling with kicking for years. I nearly watched every video on internet and read about kicking. This is the best video that is up to the point. The moment I began doing the exercises I saw my weak points. Thanks with all means.
Your most welcome!
I’m glad I found this video! I was staying in one place as well. Eventually I finally got it but by then I was tired lol. It’s actually a really relaxing kick once you relax your body. I started by floating on my back. I realized I was too tensed up. I relaxed a bit to start kicking and looked to my side I could see myself moving faster and got excited 😂! I felt like a fish. I’ll be doing these exercises today to see if it improves my speed. I tried vertical kicking as well and boy did it work my thighs. I can stay up maybe 10 seconds but it’s a struggle! I mess up by forgetting to scull and start sinking 😂! I’m confident I’ll get it though.
Great stuff keep it up!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am actually getting the gist of it now.
Thank you. Watched tens of TH-cam videos on kicking. This is the most practical.
Thank you!
Cool dude. Thank you. My swimming has improved dramatically applying TH-cam swim lessons.
This is the video that I was looking for! Thank you :D
This is super helpful. I'm a novice freestyle swimmer. I can do 1K in about 26 minutes. (Still no flip turns.) My kicking is weak and I believe I can really bring this time down with these techniques. I'll keep you posted. Mahalo for posting this.
How have you been doing in the water since this comment?
@@tatortot6730 don't worry, you will conquer the water don't give up!
This already feels like the best kicking tutorial on TH-cam. I’ll try it tomorrow!
Thank you! How's your progress coming? Any questions?
Thank you SO MUCH! This video gives me so much hope that I'll actually be able to learn this! You explained everything very clearly too and in a way that makes me feel way less terrible about how awful my kicks currently are :)
Best video kicking for crawl ever!! Already sure that everything is ok now 👍🏿
Clear & accurate instruction
Thank you sir 🙏🏼
Finally! An explanation in English!
Wow great video, thank you for posting it!
Not only was I stuck in one place but at some point I started moving backwards when kicking. This was very helpful! 🙏🙏🙏
Man if i started going backwards I’d cry. I too was kicking in place and it was demoralizing
Awesome video! Thank you for the recommendations. I could not understand why I was moving backward instead of forward when I was kicking. Yes I am a runner with stiff ankles. I will do what you are saying and see what happen. Currently I can swim faster when not kicking, I guess this is pretty bad! 😭😭😭!
Great Info. Can't wait to get back in the pool tomorrow morning.
thanks for watching! It will work, wish you all the best
By far one of the best videos I watched about kicking
Really appreciate those kind words...many more videos like that on this channel...hope you stay with us🙏
You are an example of a great instructor.
Thank you!
Thanks so much, i was really struggling, well explained.
Really helpful video. I'm very new to swimming at a older age. Swimming has become my passion and I'm always looking to improve. I really appreciate the way you break down every step. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for watching! Stay tuned for more vids and please let me know what videos I should make next
Thank you! You are one of best coaches
Appreciate the kind words! Let me know how you progress 💪
Good advice on ankle flexibility and how to have straighter but relaxed legs and floppy feet. And great drill ideas.
I teach swimming and also noticed how so many folks have this issue of tight ankles and no floppy feet. The other fequent issues I have seen is locking knees up or the opposite issue of bending at knees too much.
So many issues to watch out for when evaluating and correcting swim technique to produce efficient swim techniques.
Thanks for the kind words...yes so many things to think about in swimming, that's why my goal is to simplify it and make it easy for swimmers ...wish you all the best in your coaching
I can't move leg and hand togater
Yes, I face this problem too. Coordination
Finally, I found what I'm looking for! Thanks for sharing. Really hope I could them all
Thanks! Wish you all the best
I also have that stiffed ankles.I realized it after watching your video. I ll practice the exercises you taught to loosen up my ankles. Thanks a lot😊
You got this!
Thank you so much for this explanation - my kicks were making me go backwards. Now I have hope that I can correct this by following your suggestions.
Wish you all the best you can do it!
These are great exercises! Thank you! I have some students who really need to work on their kicks and this is going to really help them. Thank you.
appreciate the kind words, glad to be of help
Thank you for the demonstrations. I can’t wait to try it. 😅
Thanks for simplify this steps.
Thank you!!!! I’m one of the original lily pads and now I’m excited to become a motor boat. I think I understand what I need to do. 🛥🛥🛥
Excellent video-much, much better than the (many) others I’ve viewed as I’ve worked to improve my kick. The combination of a clear explanation of why a kick isn’t working, the elements of a good kick, and simple exercises is so helpful. Appreciate such quality content.
Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!
I think I watched all of ur videos and keep up the good great fantastic brilliant explanations perfect vids
definitely gonna try and share you my experience, been kicking but couldnt move forward!
This is the most helpful video I have ever seen. This kick technique just MAKES SENSE! Thank you! I can't wait to try it tomorrow in the pool!
Thank you for the kind words , all the best in your training!
For the first time in my life I went FORWARD while kicking. Imagine that! It works it really does! More to practice of course, but what a revelation. Thank you!!
Wow. I am going to try this tommorow. Because i am the 24 hours guy just now
i just started swimming for about 1month now. thanks for the help
thank you so much for wonderful Video. it really helps me for swimming
My pleasure, hope it helps!
Well done Siska!! A Big help understanding the physical exercise in kicking - I understand it now - time to practice - thank you very much!!
My pleasure, how's your progress?
thank for the great video- masters swimmer, slow kicker
This is good coaching. I lol at the swimmer who hadnt moved 24 hours later as that is me. I have swum for 25 years but I don't use a kick as I found I was dead after a length, as you say, but I try to flutter my legs a bit to try to stop them dropping in the water and so acting as a break against me. My catch and pull is improving as I am reaching straight forward from the shoulder, gliding till I complete the other arm stroke , keeping fingers and hand like a padel blade , stretching and rotating to get more power from the pectorals as I push the water behind me, and gliding like Grahame Thorpe. I don't know how to kick or tumble turn or dolphin kick in the turn yet.
Outstanding video and there was so much valuable information. I definitely be saving this video for future reference. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!!!
Thanks for watching and for the kind words, if there are any areas of swimming you would like us to make a video on please let us know👍
Thank you very much..

2:13 "they swim 25 meters and they're dead" . . . Heck, I swim 25 feet at I'm dead 😂
😆How's your progress coming? Any questions?
Thanks for making this video!
Your welcome!
It’s hard for me to distinguish if I’m kicking with my hips or knees. I’ll make sure to pay special attention in my swim today! Thanks, dude!
Doing this even a litle befoer going to the pool already helped
Glad to hear that!
Can you please tell more excersize for full kick movement using hips?
Don't overcomplicate it while your trying to learn, just do the ones I show you in the video first and when you master them , you can try more exercises
Superb Siska.
Thanks!
Thank you.
My pleasure!
Thanks for sharing this so useful tips.
No wonder I was swimming in place lol
Thank you for such a good explanation!
How's your progress coming? Any questions?
these videos are saving me hundreds of dollars in teacher fees. I will learn to swim on my own.
Thanks for watching!
@@siskatrainingsystems your welcome.
Well, I have managed to take about another 10 seconds off my lap time with the flutter kick. Some thing I figured out but haven't seen any one teach is that with the 3 beat kick (3 kicks per arm stroke, or 6 beats per arm cycle), the first kick is a 'transition kick' when moving/rotating from one side to the other, and the next 2 kicks are more of a scissor kick. So, in your clips here when using the kick board, the kicks are going pretty much straight up and down with little or no hip rotation. This means you can't raise your heel and lower leg out of the water to get that about 15 degree flex to get your oar/foot in a good position for generating thrust on the down part of the kick because if you do, then you are kicking air. This means to get that 15 degree angle, you have to flex more at the hip. After the transition kick, with your hips rotated at that 35 or so degree angle, it becomes more of a scissor kick, very similar to that you do in your vertical kicking exercises here, or with the totally on your side kicking exercise. The legs move above/past the center of the line of your body, and since you are turned sideways, your lower leg doesn't come out of the water, and you need less hip flex, which creates more drag, to get to that 15 degree knee flex to get the good thrust angle. I first noticed this scissor kick in a slow motion of Katie Ledecky swimming where one foot was up and down, and then the other went into scissor kick. After watching a bunch of videos of elite swimmers, they all do the same thing. Being a side stroke fanatic, the scissor kick comes more naturally to me, and I practice it a lot....Side stroke rules, breast stroke drools.....
Well done , keep it up!
Wow cool! Thank you ☺️
This Video is so helpful!
Thanks Mom😊
thank you for teaching and sharing.
Great Video. Perfect!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I learned a lot!
Im glad!
This is what I exactly needed
Superb. Thanks
Most welcome 😊
Omg thank you SO MUCH for this instruction! I need it!
Thank you i will practice this tomorrow
great let me know how it goes
Thank u Lucas 👊👍
My pleasure!
I was the first video..24 hrs later I was still at the same spot..just a bit tired
This is no joke swimming lessonsss
Excellent educational.
Thanks mate.
I like putting feet in bucket of hot water before the stretches. While feet in water do a shoulder routine with 2kg weights. Not swim specific but feels doing something. The hot water seems to soften all the ligaments and tendons in the feet and ankles. So many of them
Sounds great!
