Stop Breast Kicking on Freestyle, Back and Fly
- Great for the kids that naturally ‘push’ with their feet or ‘bicycle kick’
- It will not make it impossible, it will just make it exhausting for them
- The flat panel on the top of the foot, constantly reminds them NOT to bend with the ankle
Improve Breast Kick – Recovery Phase
- Helps ‘hide’ the kick recovery by actively making them bend the ankles behind the heels
Improve the Breast Kick Engagement
- Trains a faster, more deliberate catch at the ‘top’ of the breast kick
- Most swimmers don’t bend their ankles fast enough and star their kick with a slice
- With the KickRight, if the ankles are not flexed back, the slice is more noticeable
- Practice single leg kicks (moderate-to-slow tempo) to focus on the ankles at the catch
- Then practice ‘egg beater’ kick (on stomach or back) with alternating single kicks
Improves Angle of Flutter Kick Feet
- A common cause of ankle strain problems is rotating the ankle inward or sideways
- KickRight will guide a straight back and straight down kick angle
- It is ideal for people with ankle problems from using fins (a sure sign of angle problems)
Support Tender Ankles
- Swimmers often have tender ankles after a strain, break or other medical problem
- The KickRight can help get your kicking going again when first getting back in the water
On Hands/Wrist – Train a Better Catch and Push Phase
- KickRight can also be used on your hands/wrists
- It will help train swimmers to engage their catch from fingertips (or you won’t catch anything)
- On both the free and back, it will help create a deliberate ‘push phase on the outsweep
- For Breast stroke it forces you to clean up your recovery hands for the least resistance
