    Any tips on how to get more out of my flutter kick? After my OW swim I was paddling around on vacation and noticed when I float and just kick I wasn't going very far. thanks

    Point the toes back toward where you came from & kick from the hip (not the knee) so that you use the big muscles in the leg. The other thing I would suggest is extra kicking when you practice, do some kick sets & concentrate on getting the feel of the feet fluttering on the ends of your legs......

    Just bumping this topic as it had disappeared in the new forums and I'd be sad to lose all this great content.

    I'm not Mac, but they say the distance you would ordinarily swim in a week, you can swim in a day!
    Try swimming 1/2 the distance at least twice one week, 3/4 the distance at least once in the following week... and so on!
    Don't know much about Open Water swims though!
