What is the "flutter kick"?
The flutter kick is a swimming technique used in strokes like freestyle and backstroke, where the legs alternate kicking up and down in a quick, fluttering motion. The legs remain relatively straight, with the kick coming from the hips. The flutter kick helps to propel the swimmer forward while maintaining balance in the water. It is a basic yet essential part of many swimming styles, as it provides continuous movement and speed. The kick requires good coordination, strength, and timing to be effective and to help maintain a smooth swimming rhythm.
