Kicking is essential to swimming.
If you want to swim fast, you need to kick fast.
With a board, without a board,
With fins, without fins.
While swimming or just kicking.
Consider improving your kick.
We need speed.

Today in practice we did a
500 FR swim for time on 15:00
went 5:18
then a
400 Kick for Time on 14:00
following the rules of USMS postal swim
went 5:32
1:23 ave
(the no stroking rule hurts my time, the way I like to turn when kicking is: as I approach the wall for a turn, take an arm stroke with my right arm then redirect the board with my left. Grab the wall with my right and turn)
think I'll spend next week improving my kicking fitness
then rest a little during Christmas
then give the 400 K a shot on Fri Dec 28th, Sat, Sun or Mon Dec 31st.
