I finally stating improving in kicking. When I do a vertical kick I do not sink anymore. I started feeling my thighs working.
In a you tube a Sea Hiker explains that people should feel also theirs back muscles working, I do not . What could be acause of it?

Good video.  I too have started working on my kick.  Turns out I actually kick better when I am on my back.  The technique in the video is similar to what I have been working on.

When I just kick i feel the movement in my hips and it "feels" more whip like. However, when I go full stroke I bend my knee too much. Having a hsrd time putting it all together.

To kick or not to kick, that is the question.

It seems that if I swim that slow I begin to sink and I have to either kick or pull harder to compensate while my heart-rate starts going up. I find myself kicking too hard trying to keep afloat.

Good swimming is relaxed swimming. Relaxed swimming depends on practicing the best techniques and the best body position.
