Kicking Is the REAL Reason USA Is Losing – Kick From Your KNEES, Not Hips (Black Swimmers Too)

Dax & Elvis go OFF on why American swimming is falling behind internationally… and the answer is KICKING.

The national-team director Greg Meehan finally admitted it: weak flutter kick + weak underwaters = cooked on the world stage.

Elvis: “Club teams treat kicking like an afterthought — I only got good when college forced me to care”

Dax drops the biomechanics bomb: “Kick from your knees, not your hips. Especially if you’re Black and built like a powerlifter — stop tearing up your quads!”

Real examples: 9-year-olds going 1.11–1.13 for 100 kick, another girl drops from 2.10 to 1.19 in months.

Why Lochte & Phelps ruined the underwater game and made everyone forget how to actually flutter kick.

If you’re a coach, swimmer, or parent tired of watching kids sink — this is the uncomfortable truth the sport doesn’t want to say out loud.
