Like many cyclists and runners I can not point my toes very far I try to do the freestyle flutter kick. This must be the reason why I do not move forward when I have attempted kick sets without using fins.
So, is it worth trying to "fix" this problem with stretching? I have a fear that I will somehow make my ankles less stable if I try too hard to stretch them.
I know that I can use bigger fins to try to stretch the ankle. I also know the "point toes and sit back on them" stretch. What other stretches are there for this area? What about the product made by Zoomers called the Rack?
I would love to read about others triathletes experiences with this issue.
Most important - Did stretching your ankles help you to become faster swimmers?
