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.
good job
you're pretty consistent and making improvements
got a few questions:
what sort of suit did you wear?
with a board or with out?
we're these from a push?
are your easy 50's on like 1:30?
look forward to hearing how your super fast test 25 goes
you should also test a 50, when you do get your 25 split
also work to integrate your new improved kick into your stroke

Two more workouts and I will hunt down a stop watch.
