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?

Seems to me like since shiny suits, maybe before, in elite swimming there's no real 'distance' swimming. At least in the mens' events. Even the 1500 is at best middle distance and there is a lot of power involved, including the kick. The 200 is basically a long sprint, and the 400 not far off.
