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).

Though you do seem to be quite the outlier...but I mean that in a good way: an exceptionally fast swimmer for your kick speed! :)
I like to think of it as an elite group.....
I also like to think that I must have a fantastic pull technique if I can hold 1.20 - 1.25s for 100s LCM, while my kick came in at 2.45 per 100. Not a typo. I have an 80-85s spread :bolt:
Is it possible that my ankles are so flexible that my feet just float behind me rather than provide propulsion?
