Does it help to have long legs?
Is it a hinderance?
Does it make any difference?
I keep wanting to revert into a whip kick.
:rolleyes: this one is gonna take a while.
Oh, yea, even when I do get the motion right, there is hardly any propulsion. I get much more out of a whip kick.
I think I'm still missing a muscle or two to pull it off.
It's so frustrating when something doesn't sink in. I know, I know, keep practicing and experimenting... and just like everything else, one day it will click.
Yeah, I'm very sore today. I suppose that means, I'll be growing muscle where I need it.

My confusion was in your response about getting disqualified. I didn't see anything in the article suggesting anything illegal or in the original question about the article.
It would be interesting to see the same velocity tests done on better swimmers. The ones in the test were good but not great. It's hard to believe someone has done it already and if they have I'd like to see it to compare the results.
In your case, you are willing to live with a decrease in velocity on your pushoff because of your physical condition. Overall swimming for an extended period would cause an even larger decrease in velocity? Something like that?
