Anyway, here’s a little trick I learned years ago from my
teacher: Most people with muscle related body pain have weak lower abdominals.
That was certainly my problem. Because my abs were so weak, there were very few
body weight exercises I could do without falling apart. I mean that almost
literally – my sacroiliac loved to go out on me and it was due, to a great
extent to those weak abs. One of the first things this guy had me do when we
started working together was to swim on my back with fins. It really builds
lower abs, fast. The trick to getting this right is to make sure you kick from
the hips Your knees should stay relatively straight In other words, don’t bend
your knees when you kick, because then you won’t be working the abs. Lower ab
strength is the foundation upon which realignment and body healing is built. www.lagunaswimfins.com/

Many people that come into the triathlon have what is called
the runners kick when they swim. The runners kick generally stems from being a
long time runner and lacking flexibility in the ankle, which in turn gives you
a weaker kick. Fortunately this is something that can be mostly overcome if the
swimmer takes some time to remedy it. Having a runners kick can do one of three
things, first is it will make you go slower than your potential. Also it is
said it can make you swim backwards or even in place, but this sounds pretty
drastic. Overcoming your lack of flexibility will help your kick and improve
your swim.
