I need some theories on why this could be true: Assuming that both swimmers are kicking/pulling/swimming freestyle for the same distance with the same effort and without fins and paddles, swimmer A consistently kicks slower than swimmer B and swimmer A consistently pulls slower than swimmer B but swimmer A consistently swims full stroke faster than swimmer B.
The only thing I can think of that might make this true is that swimmer A's body positioning in the water and/or body rotation changes somehow when swimming full stroke and that that change reduces drag but I can't think of what that "somehow" could be. Maybe the rotation that occurs when pulling is making the kick more effective than when only kicking..?

Hi
I live in Martindale and drive through San Marcos every day.
I need to watch swimmers A & B swim to tell you why.
1) first there's the push off, streamline, & glide. Some swimmers push off better than others, streamline better than others and glide further and faster.
2) next there's how each swimmer moves their arms to pull and their legs to kick, some people have better feel for the water than others.
They get more DPS distance per stroke and DPK distance per kick
3) also each swimmer has to drag their torsos through the water, some swimmers are shaped better than others.
4) what kind of suits are swimmers A & B wearing, some suits make us more aquadynamic than others.
