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?

  • I think distance swimmers kick pretty hard, even 6 beat for a whole 1500. I've also seen strong 6 beat kicking off every wall for 12.5 in 500's. I guess the idea to carry push off momentum. Doesn't Larsen Jensen kick a LCM 50 in 30? this doesn't asnwer your question, so I am also curious what the kicking breakdown is for distance and sprints.
