Students often ask: “Why do my legs keep sinking when I swim freestyle?”The main reason is not kicking or kicking incorrectly. Without proper leg movement, the body loses balance and the lower half sinks. Incorrect posture, like lifting the head or tensing up, also makes it worse.Solution: focus on proper kicking technique, use kickboards, fins, or isolated drills to build water feel and balance.#SwimmingTechnique #freestyledrills #swimmingcoach #swimminglesson #swim #swimming #swimlike #swimlif
