I have been trying to get back into lap swimming after many years off. I've just been doing the kickboard to start off. I do freestyle kick and breaststroke kick and aim for a mile. It takes me about 42 minutes. The pool I use is short (44 laps=mile). Is this a good time for a mile only kicking?? I feel like I'm going so slow. I'm going to get goggles so I can start adding arms next week.
As a masters swimmer for years, if I can do only kicking drills continuously for 42 minutes, I would be happy. Kicking drills and I don't get along especially since my right calf muscle got torn last summer while doing kicking drills with fins. If you haven't done so, join a master's team! It is a good way to diversify your workout and get back into all your strokes at your pace.
