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...
So much discussion over kicking!
Does this mean that if you suck at kicking fresstyle with a board then your stroke is terribly suffering or do you think that your stroke mechanics can make up for this weakness?
Are there world-class swimmers who are known to be lousy kickers?
This goes back to my original question of how do you improve your kick?
