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 I am going to start doing a lot more pull sets with the buoy as I felt like it gave me the sense of what it should feel like to have a good stream line position.Be careful overusing/improperly paddles. It can lead to shoulder problems.
I'll second the Finis Positive Drive fins. I can't keep up with the long bladers but I can kick full IM sets and they can't. One of the things I really like about them is that if I kick wrong, they just slide side ways through the water and I go nowhere. The thing I dislike the most about them is that when I swim too fast, they fill with water and begin separating from my feet.
