Essentials and skills of freestyle kicking
The kick action of freestyle is an important part of the whole swimming action. The following are some essentials and skills of kicking:

1, leg coordination: when kicking, the legs should keep coordinated action, and there should be no asynchronization or dislocation. At the same time, pay attention to the strength of both legs to avoid one leg exerting too much or too little force than the other.

2. Leg action: The leg action of freestyle should be mainly kicking, and the leg should be pushed down hard instead of simply swinging. Pay attention to the softness of the ankle when kicking, and use the strength of the leg muscles to push the water away. Keep the tension of your legs in the water to avoid sagging or relaxation.

3. Body posture: Leg movements should be well coordinated and balanced with the upper body. Keep your upper body level and your back straight. While kicking, the upper body should also do corresponding actions to keep the balance and propulsion of the body.

4. Breathing coordination: leg movements and breathing should cooperate with each other in freestyle. Generally speaking, when the head turns to the side to breathe, the kicking action of the legs can be slightly relaxed to maintain the balance of the body.

5. Practice and adjustment: The skills of playing football need to be improved through constant practice and adjustment. You can carry out leg strength training, such as leapfrog and squat jump, to enhance leg strength and explosiveness. At the same time, in swimming training, we can pay attention to the flexibility and coordination of leg training, and gradually improve the kicking skills through different training methods.
