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.
stud,
you have marks to beat
to start with 25's
build some basic speed
when you get under 20 for a 25 kick
start doing 50's
when you get under 40 for a 50 kick start doing 100's
ande
I was happy that I got 24 on the SDK, which is as fast as kicking on the surface with the board which adds buoancy. I'll need to get a coach or guard to help but the pool was bit busy.
Tee numbers seem to add up though, and go in the order I think they should at least. SDK is fastest.; next is flutter with boad and last is flutter no board. Although the 26 might be a little slower than I should be...
I had to contend with a fellow swimmer.
3 times a week with the 75/25 set Ande? Is that enough?
