Subject: Transferring Kick Drill to Swimming
Hi...

I've recently been working on my kick by doing drills. Typically 6 X 50m with snorkel and kick-board. It feels good, but when I start swimming normally, I don't sense any improvement in my kick...I feel like my normal lazy self...

Any tips on transferring what I feel in the drill to actual swimming...

Cheers gff

Try sets without a kick board. It may help you be in a more normal swimming position, and not a drill position.
