And if you don’t point your toes, no matter how good catch you got it will still slow you down. If you kick without pointing your toes actually you will push the water forwards which means your arms and feet working for opposite direction and then most Common question will come in your mind,  Coach “  WHY I’M TOO SLOW”😭😭😭 Kick from the hip: In  good flutter kick the legs are straight while swimmer is kicking from the hips with slight bend(very little) in the knees with flexible ankles.

Those two reasons alone are enough to make swimming in fresh or salt water a relatively safe activity, when it comes to avoiding the coronavirus at least     And finally , when you add chlorine to the mix, the coronavirus is a highly unlikely threat.
