Especially if you’re Black and built like a powerlifter — stop tearing up your quads!”Real examples: 9-year-olds going 1.11–1.13 for 100 kick, another girl drops from 2.10 to 1.19 in months.Why Lochte & Phelps ruined the underwater game and made everyone forget how to actually flutter kick.If you’re a coach, swimmer, or parent tired of watching kids sink — this is the uncomfortable truth the sport doesn’t want to say out loud.🔥 Like, comment your 100 kick PR, and subscribe — we’re dropping the realest swimming takes every week.#Swimming #USASwimming #Kicking #SprintTraining #NightSwimPodcast🌙 Night Swim PodcastWhen the pool lights go out, the real talk begins.
