Abstract
![CDATA[Swim turns are a component of competitive swimming where considerable advantage can be gained or lost. Further, the importance of selecting an appropriate underwater kicking technique and minimising the deceleration caused by drag following wall push-off from a turn has been stated frequently. This investigation examined underwater kicking styles at speeds representing turn wall exits to enable greater understanding of technique and anthropometrical characteristics that are predictive of efficient underwater kicking.]]
