How fast do you kick compared to swimming? This is prompted by a set in pwb's High Volume Workouts where a kicking interval/100 was 20 seconds more than normal swimming interval. The question: What is the spread between your challenge interval for 5x100 swimming and 5x100 kicking? In my case, I can kick fly on an interval 40 seconds slower than the fastest interval I can make for 5x100 swimming. Free kick is 10 seconds slower (slower than fly kicking).

    Those statements are contradictory. But I suspect you are talking about causation, not (statistical) independence, in which case I agree. Definitely a poor choice of terms, but mathematically what I claim should be a fallacy. If I write a function for swimming speed that includes kicking speed, I should be able to solve for kicking speed and a factor would be swimming speed, would it not? More accurately I should have said that pulling speed is independent of kicking speed.
