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).
For specifics, how are the kicking turns being accomplished? Do you touch the wall, face the other way, then push off? Or flip-turn with a board somehow, then do a few dolphins before flutter kicking again?
With a board: open turn, no pulling. When I'm doing flutter kick, no dolphins (but I'm usually doing DK).
So here's an interesting postal event that is relevant to this thread: 400 kick for time (and the rules specifically say no pulls or flip turns, and that a board must be used).
