What will be the condition of the pools after lockdown?

When your toes are pointed in front crawl, should they be still, or should your feet be moving like flippers while they’re pointed ?

Paige, awesome question! In the flutter kick for front crawl your feet are gently pointed throughout the kick. However your pointed foot and leg (right up to your hip) only tense in the downward motion of the kick to offer resistance on the water and relax in the upward or recovery motion (as you kick upward). To make this a bit clearer think of the motion your foot and leg make if you were wearing a flip flop sandal (thong in Australia) and were kicking it off your foot while standing - the movement would start with a forward thrust originating from your hip, then your thigh would move forward, slightly bent knee would follow, then your shin, loose ankle and lightly pointed foot - all traveling forward in a wave motion. This is a similar motion to the downward kick of front crawl :)
