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?
I've always had a crappy kick, and I consider myself a sprinter. I have noticed that as I forced myself to train my legs/kick more, my sprinting improved. Don't know how it's affected my distance swimming, as, well, I don't swim long distances. :D
Once in a blue moon I might swim 1000yds continuously to test my counting ability…and to remind myself that I'm not a distance swimmer.
