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?
They aren't concerned with leg strength for that last 1/100 of a second.
This is what I think is wrong, though. I don't think being an excellent kicker is a "cherry on top" kind of thing, I think it gives a strong advantage over a weak kicker in most events. *Certainly* that's true in my chosen events; admittedly, probably less of an advantage in distance events.
