At the pool yesterday I was doing some pull sets w the buoy thing between my legs and noticed my times were not much slower on a 25y basis than I do when I add the kick. Is it safe to say my kick is my weakness or do most people do their pull sets close to their kick sets?
I also felt like I was able to do sets quicker with my br kick vs flutter kicker. I assume that is fairly common as well.
I think it's pretty normal to be faster at pulling than kicking. My pulling is nearly as fast as my swim. My kick is fast (I normally swim with advanced kids and am one of the fastest kickers in the pool), but not as fast as my swim. Most of the power in your swim is going to come from your pull. BUT, having a good strong kick will give you a big speed boost in your swim.
As far as your *** stroke kick being faster than your flutter kick.. do you mean when just kicking? My flutter kick is faster than my *** stroke kick. However, I had to correct a bad breaststroke kick over the last year, so it's still not all that strong.
