Do distance swimmers spend less time w/kicking workouts
Former Member
Just curious if sprinters spend more time kicking as a percentage of their overall workouts compared to distance swimmers? Can and do distance swimmers have to spend less time?
"Kicking?" asked a perplexed d-person, "Is that what you do to get an open water drafter off your tail?"
"No, no, no," explained the sprinter, "Kicking is actually part of freestyle, a key propulsive force where you move your legs and feet up and down, stirring up the water and pushing your body forward."
"You must be joking," sighed the d-person as they pushed off for another set of 15 x 500 on 0:05 rest, laughing yet again at the crazy, half-baked ideas those wacky sprinters come up with.
