Torpedo Kick

This position is maintained while the child kicks their legs. The reason why this drill is so important is because it exercises and strengthens the core (abdominal) muscles as the arms are above the head. If a child cannot perform Torpedo kick, they certainly do not have the core stability and strength to perform correct freestyle arms. This is why its really important to practice torpedo kick even after the skill is mastered, because it enhances the quality of freestyle arms by allowing the upper and lower body to perform 2 different actions
