I am slow, and when I mean slow, I mean slow. I can do a 26 sec 50 with fins, but without I come in just under 1:20! I think a big part of it is just taking the fins off and doing a lot of kick sets to learn to feel the water better with my feet. I have a good breaststroke kick so I don't think my problem is an overly weak pair of legs, although they could be in better shape. Also, myankles are fairly flexible as I can point my toes and make my feet bend backwards past an even position with my shins. However, I do think that I need to loosen up my ankles when I kick. I feel like I get more out of my kick for those brief moments when I allow my ankles to snap back and forth with my kick. I think I actually need to relax more to kick faster as weird as that sounds.
I suppose the answer to my question is that I simply need to take of the fins and do kick set after kick set until I learn to feel the water better with my feet and become more efficient.
it's all relative he goes
21.0 in the 50 SCY free
I'm sure he wants to break 21 then 20.5 and maybe even 20.0
Sprinters need to have an amazing kick
Eddie Reese told me Ian Crocker flutter kicked a 50 scy from a push in 24.6
Years ago Shaun Jordan flutter kicked a 50 with a board from a dive in 23.3
Those times show us what's possible.
In college I went 28.0 from a push in practice
I invite people to explore kicking and get closer to your true potential.
You can kick way faster than you think you can and when you integrate your kick with your stroke you'll swim faster faster.
Many swimmers have had remarkable
so it would be huge for Jazz
if he could improve his
25 flutter kick flutter kick with a board from
15 to 14, 13, 12 or 11
he should also work on lowing times in 15, 25's, 50's 75's & even 100's
The best way to develop this ability is to do the training I described in this thread.

so Jazz
way to go
keep keep us posted on your progress as you
train and test in the coming weeks
let's see how much you can bring it down
this training will help you improve your 25 and 50 FREE times
Let's find out how much
I'm finally joining the horrible flutter kick club. I didn't do very many kick sets before, but Ande's writings have convinced me. I did 3x25 flutter with a board today, and I went about :15 on them. I'm going to keep hitting the fast flutter sets and hoping for a :14 now.
:15 is not horrible at all, it's amazing (SCY ? dive or push off wall ?)
