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!)

    I kick the fastest in breaststoke. I think as a kid I could kick it faster than flutter kick and fly. Ion, is a great flutter kicker. For for Jonty Skinner, he was wrong as well as most of the sportspeople of South Africa. Countries in Africa like Ethopia, Sudan ,Rwanda, Nigeria, that had bloody civil wars that killed and exiled thousands of people were allowed in the olympic games while South Africa that practice a dated form of racism wasn't.
