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.

I involuntarily did it yesterday. I've always disliked kicking due to ankles of stone. However, my "stable" ankles enable me to run much better than most swimmers can. I did a vigorous 12 mile run Tuesday, then coach ambushed us Wednesday AM with the 400 kick. I did a 7:13, which is quite good for me.
I tried it last week. 6:47. Do I get an altitude adjustment for 5200 ft elevation? Tough not stroking into the walls. I'm probably not going to formally register. It was a good challenge, however.
