Any advice on kicking technique in the pool? I know the idea is to do as much with the arms and save the legs, but if I kick any less than 4 or 6 kicks per stroke, my arse starts to sink, which is surely just as bad as having tired legs.
I've never been able to generate much power kicking. If I just kick, I hardly move. So during freestyle/crawl, I just kick enough to stay level and maybe steer straight. Yet other people seem to be able to propel themselves quite effectively with just "flutter" kicking.
