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 been a pure distance guy and will avoid kicking if at all possible. My ankles simply do not bend and I get no propulsion from flapping my feet. When we do get a kicking set, I'll cheat enough to stay with group and grimly wait until I can use my arms again.
