I decided to get back into swimming after not swimming seriously for 30 years. Right now, I'm trying to figure out where my weaknesses are, time-wise, but my times don't make sense to me. Freestyle and backstroke have always been my fastest strokes. Butterfly has always been my weakest and *** stroke my slowest. I'm not concerned about my *** stroke right now but today, I discovered that my fly kick is significantly faster than my freestyle kick - like by 8 seconds in 25yds. I find this very weird, especially considering that I'm pigeon toed, making it impossible for me to keep my feet together during the fly kick. I would think that at the very least, my freestyle kick would be as fast as my fly, but not slower. Is this normal? I think there's something seriously wrong with my flutter and whatever is wrong, it's not related to drag (I've already ruled out drag).
Have thought of joining a team?
Apparently, I joined one and didn't know it until about a week ago. Unfortunately, the one I joined is 50 miles away. I'm looking in to switching.
As others have mentioned on this thread, you'll need to have a coach take a look at the structure of your flutter kick and provide you with the appropriate drills to improve your kick. We provide this service online at Swimspire (www.swimspire.com/.../).
Hey, that's neat! So, if I record one minute of each stroke (four mins total), will Swimspire analyze all of them for a one-hour analysis fee?
Thanks for all of the advice. You guys are awesome! I'll keep this updated as things change, hopefully, for the better.
