Hi all,
It's so funny--sometimes I see people at the pool who really go at it with the kickboard...and then other people wouldn't touch one if their life depended upon it.
I'll admit, I don't use one--mainly becuase I'm impatient, feel like I'm not going anywhere, and am a purist to a fault sometimes.
But, if you think that it's worthwhile, I would incoporate it, all for the sake of improvement.
The great questions are:
Will training with a kickboard make me a better, faster, super awesome swimmer?
And, if you train with one--why? Or, why not?
Thanks everybody (you know you're my outlet!)

Along the lines of discarding the kickboard to keep the body more in a "swimming" position, do any of you use snorkels for that purpose? One of the regulars at one of my previous pools did all his kicks without a board and with a snorkel, sometimes with fins and sometimes without. He also used flip turns.
Good? Bad? Makes no difference?
