The flutter kick, often shrouded in misunderstanding among divers, is one of the most misconstrued propulsion techniques in the sport. Typically introduced during initial open water training, it's a skill seldom directly taught by instructors. Instead, divers tend to mimic what they observe, leading to less-than-optimal performance.
Unfortunately, many beginners continue with this acquired method throughout their diving journey, not realizing its limitations. This video aims to shed light on the flutter kick, showcasing its proper execution, common pitfalls, and ideal scenarios for its use.
