During freestyle, obviously most of your forward motion comes from the arm and shoulders. How much should your kick contribute to your progress? I'd guess about 20% if you're doing things correctly. Any opinions?
Also - has anyone here every used the Finis "Swimsense" device. It's basically a watch you wear that records your workouts. You go home and download it into the computer and it somehow analyzes what you just did. Has anyone here found it useful?
Thanks.

I think it's almost impossible to say for sure. How would you measure it? Suffice it to say most very fast swimmers can also kick very fast. I've heard guys like Phelps can push a 100 meter (long course) kick with a board in under a minute.
