Kick faster on spot without turning. Apply equal force as kick back and forth to prevent your body from moving. Flex your feet and keep your legs straight.
Switch circle direction after a certain number of side kicks (for example after x8 kicks)
Perform without noodles for the extra effort in your upper body (only for good swimmers)
Use aqua cuffs for extra resistance.
