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?
If anyone has any doubt that elite distance don't train there kick at a high level watch the last 100 of this:
