Video insights

@effortlessswimming's TikTok video "Why do your legs sink when you swim? It’s not always because you need to kick harder. Your body naturally carries more weight through your hips and legs, so when you’re swimming horizontally, your lower body wants to drop. One way to improve your balance is to stay long through the body and keep an arm extended in front of your head. This helps move your centre of mass forwards and can help raise your hips and legs. Your head and spine position also matter. If you lift your head or push your chin forwards, your hips and legs can drop and create more drag. So instead of thinking “kick harder,” think about creating a long, balanced position from your head all the way through your toes. The goal is to work with the water, not fight against it. #swimtips #SwimmingTechnique #swimmersoftiktok" has 34,709 views, 680 likes, 3 comments, 36 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
