Review and refresh your front crawl – part four is all about the kick action
In this penultimate part of our winter freestyle refresher course, we’re looking at how to use your legs. In Part 1 we looked at how to achieve an optimum body position, Part 2 was about efficient breathing and Part 3 covered mastering your catch and getting the most out of each arm stroke.
