Ask yourself one question:
Do you kick faster than you swim?
If not, you're wasting your time down there off every wall.
Your one question approach is not that simple.
when you're underwater after diving or pushing off.
We streamline glide for a moment then we kick then we break out.
Racing is about pacing and energy management and figuring out the fastest and best way to race each race.
For many swimmers SDK is a weapon.
On turns it's smart to push off and kick under the currents and waves.
All swimmers should work to improve their flutter kick & SDK.
They should figure out how many kicks to do for each race or not.
Each person has a kick style and count sweet spot.
I've always said, train to improve your SDK, put in a good effort for months and years, don't give up after a short time, but if it's not as fast then do what is.
better questions might be:
What should I do at each point of my race?
what is the fastest way to swim my race?
Should I SDK or not?
If you suck at it, don't use it.
SDK is is one of the things that has transformed swimming.
It's what helped swimmers like michael phelps, ryan lochte, natalie coughlin, and many others continue to improve and swim faster than anyone ever has.
