Strong Kicking Builds Strong Swimmers

Many common swimming mistakes begin with improper kicking technique. While it may seem like a simple movement, kicking plays a crucial role in balance, propulsion, and overall confidence in the water.

At Little Orcas, we place strong emphasis on building correct kicking fundamentals from the very beginning.

What We Focus On:

• Proper Leg Position

Children learn to keep their legs long and aligned with their body to maintain balance and reduce drag in the water.

• Controlled, Consistent Kicks

Instead of big, splashy movements, we teach steady and rhythmic kicks that improve efficiency and endurance.

• Relaxed Ankles

Flexible, relaxed ankles allow the feet to move naturally through the water, creating smoother propulsion.

When children develop good kicking technique early, they become safer, more efficient, and more confident swimmers.

Strong foundations lead to lasting swimming success.
