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 5 sets of 100M
Kick - 2:35
Swim is just as slow - 1:36 (just a guess, actually need to try it soon)
59 second spread
swim/kick = 0.62
Very little rest here per 100, like doing a straight 500m with an open turn every other 50. How much rest is everyone taking for their swim interval?
My intention when posing the original question is the fastest interval that you can make for 5 repeats.
Even if you get almost no rest, if you don't miss the 4th interval, and the 5th 100 is still the same pace, that counts.
