What are some of the best exercises for swimmers to help build kick strength?

Question

Keenan Robinson · Answer

Best exercises to help build kick strength, I would say it would be kicking. So 50s, 100s, 150s, long-course, holding a certain time at a certain interval, vertical kicking, flutter kicking on the wall, going right into a flip turn, trying to get to 15 meters, repeating doing that on a pretty decent interval. But I think the question is more towards what do I do in the weight room that I feel like has translated well to kicking strength? Some form of squat pattern and then I think reverse hypers for the posterior chain are my two favorite exercises. But it's going to be what the athletes believe in. It's going to be with the athletes, based on your keen assessment, can tolerate and what's going to transfer best for them.
