Use of the leg kicks when swimming crawl and backstroke
Freestyle: Flutter kick, feet go up and down in short quick strokes.) Backstroke: Like flutter kick but you are fliped on your back. Breaststroke: On your stomach legs go down and out then snap together Butterfly: Legs and feet together with up and down motions
There are many different conditioning in swimming. One exercise that I do at swimming is flutter kicking. Flutter kicking is where you lay on your back, put your hands under your butt, put your feet in about 6inches-1foot in the air, and start to kick slowly wit straight legs. (Don't bend your knees.)

There are just three basic kicks. Butterfly/Dolphin Kick- Powerful, fluid kick from the hips down, feet together. This is the only kick allowed in butterfly events, and is also done during the underwaters (after dives and turns, before breaking the surface) during freestyle and backstroke events as well. Doing this kick will disqualify you in a breaststroke race. Flutter/Freestyle Kick- Kick in which feet move independently in rapid flutter motion. This is the kick that you see swimmers do for freestyle and backstroke events (excluding the underwaters). This kick will disqualify you if you do it in a breaststroke or butterfly event. Breaststroke/Frog Kick- Most technical kick. Beginning with legs straight and together, knees bend to bring feet up, then legs separate and feet arc out and down, eventually bringing legs back together in starting position. The movement is similar to the way frogs swim, hence it commonly being referred to as 'frog kick.' This kick is only used for breaststroke, although technically it is allowed in freestyle (virtually all competitors elect to preform the much faster flutter kick).

For every arm lift, there are three leg kicks. In other words, every time you lift your right arm, you should have done 6 leg kicks.
