In this episode, we’re kicking things off (pun intended but not really) with the one part of freestyle everyone loves to ignore: your legs. That’s right—your lazy, sinking, drag-inducing legs. We’re talking all things kick: why “saving your legs for the bike” is a myth that needs to die, how your pelvis and core are running the show (literally), and why squeezing your thighs together like you’re trying to crush a watermelon might be the best swimming advice you’ve never heard. There’s also a deep dive into anatomy, dysfunction, Ricky Ricardo’s bongo drums, and why kickboards are basically flotation devices for denial. If your kick is more chaos than coordination—or you just want to understand how to stop fighting the water—this one’s worth a listen. Sponsor
