When I swim *** stroke and stick to proper technique, I get much more winded then when I swim Freestyle or Backstroke (but not as winded as when I swim butterfly).
In fact, I don't even know if I could finish a 200 yd *** stroke race.
Why is this?
We do a very similar drill called "Butt Drill"
Put your hands on your butt, palms up, and you should be able to hit your fingertips with each kick. This is a good drill for checking for asymmetry in your kick too. I know I have a harder time getting my left foot to touch than my right. I usually breathe every kick. The once every 2 is a good idea... I'll have to try that.
