Ankle Flexibility for Dolphin & Flutter kickEvery elite backstroker, butterflyer, & freestyler have on thing in common: tremendous ankle plantar-flexion. However, not every swimmer is born with this mobility which is why we teach every athlete how to stretch and strengthen their ankles in this range of motion.

Part 2 - Ankle Flexibility/Strength for Flutter & Dolphin Kick. In terms of increasing the propulsion kick, having mobile ankles is extremely valuable… but it’s not everything. In order to take advantage of that mobility, you’ll need to able to translate power through those ankles - that’s where the freestyle squats come in. Try doing this 2 minute freestyle sit followed by 20 freestyle squat pushups (daily if you can) and watch your flutter & dolphin kick speed skyrocket! #theraceclub #swimfast
