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?

  • No firm answers from anyone yet. Just speculation. As a sprinter and SDK specialist, I spend approx 40-50% of my workouts kicking. I'm quite sure no D master swimmer does this. I'm not sure of the relevance of asking for someone who is TT in both D and sprints when the OP was asking for a comparative analysis of the two disciplines.
