Learn how to maximize your economy of movement in the pool by enrolling in SWIMVICE’s Kick Start Program, an online course focused on nailing down the timing of the freestyle kick.
Want to improve your times in the swimming pool? Or just swim for longer periods without getting tired? Then SWIMVICE has the course you need!
The online swim community's Kick Start Program is a 2-part course teaching you how to execute a 2-beat, 4-beat, and 6-beat freestyle kick. While suitable for everyone, the Kick Start Program is especially beneficial to triathletes and iron man athletes looking to improve their endurance in their long-distance swim events.

The freestyle stroke, or front crawl, is the most common of all swim strokes, and regularly produces the fastest times in competitions. Because your legs use less energy in a freestyle stroke, more energy can be put towards your arm pull, which has much lower drag than other strokes. However, for your freestyle stroke to be maximally efficient, your flutter kicks have to be timed so that they alternate in unison with your arm pulls.
SWIMVICE’s Kick Start Program shows you how to time these flutter kicks correctly. Throughout the 2-part series, you will learn everything from basic floating to changing kick patterns mid-stroke. “Part 1 focuses more on the fundamentals of the freestyle kick, while Part 2 is more about the details and fine-tuning your technique and timing,” said a spokesperson for the company.
Professional swim coach and SWIMVICE founder Mandy Bradley teaches the lessons through a combination of video, audio, and PDF files. In addition to the files, you will be expected to test what you learn by completing pool work, dryland training, and theory.
No matter your age or skill level, the Kick Start Program is designed to help you with your freestyle kick. The course is particularly helpful if you're a competitive swimmer, triathlete, or iron man athlete, who has to cover long distances in races and therefore want to improve your economy of movement.
"I compete in triathlons, but the swim portion of the race has always been my weak area," said a satisfied SWIMVICE student. "Through Coach Mandy's Kick Start Program, I was able to figure out what was holding me back and correct it. Last year I put up some of my best times, and I think improving my freestyle kick timing had a lot to do with that."
