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?

  • You cannot train for distance and sprint in the same season. Laura's feat is because she is a BA, not because she trained for the 50 and 1500 (which isn't possible) I don't agree. Just have to train right...... I believe what lefty probably means is that it is not possible to simultaneously fully optimize (ie, reach max potential in) both 50 and 1500, not that a talented swimmer can't have very respectable times in both. I agree with him.
