Does anyone else here NOT kick when they swim freestyle?
When I was 19, a coach told me that a lot of "real" freestylers don't kick, which was a surprise to me because every other coach I'd had would yell at me to kick during my events. I grew up thinking I was the odd one out, but maybe someone on here knows what I'm talking about...

I guess it would've been important to note that I was a distance freestyler, not a sprinter. (Actually, I used to swim breaststroke above everything else, but knee problems limit my abilities now so I'm doing more distance free.) Right now there's no masters team in my area, so I don't have a coach to give me tips.
