Proper kick technique can be tough to learn, but doing so pays dividends when it comes to your swimming speed and efficiency. If you’re frustrated during kick sets and feel like you’re going nowhere, the Kick Technique Bootcamp in the MySwimPro app is designed for you!

This Plan will help you get to the root of your kicking issues to improve your technique, speed and endurance.


Kick Technique Bootcamp Overview

  • Workouts: 6 Swim Workouts, 4 optional Dryland Workouts
  • Average Workout: 1,100 meters = 30 minutes
  • Goal: Improve kick mechanics, speed and endurance

Who’s it for? This Plan is designed for a swimmer who is already completing several Workouts per week and would like to spend time focusing on their kick technique before moving on to advanced training.

How does it work? This Plan is rich with drills to help you refine your kick technique. Make sure to watch the Technique Videos to learn how to do each drill! Short fins are highly recommended. Complete the optional Dryland Workouts after your Swims or on days you don’t go to the pool.

What You’ll Work on in This Plan

Fundamentally, there are three core elements to improving your kick propulsion:

  1. 2-Directional Kicking: Kicking both ‘up’ and ‘down’ to engage all of the leg muscles.
  2. Train All 4 Planes: Front, right side, left side, and on your back.
  3. Flexibility: Focus on improving ankle mobility and building functional strength.
