How to do it

  1. Hold a kickboard with both hands, arms extended in front of you, face in the water (lift head forward to breathe when needed).
  2. Kick from your hips, not your knees, keeping your legs mostly straight with a slight bend and a steady, compact flutter kick.
  3. This builds leg endurance and keeps your body horizontal without needing to worry about your arms.
