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...
Thanks Gull80!
I've been using zoomers for years and without them, i don't think i ever could have learned fly kick but now i can do it with and without zoomers after consistently practicing.
Free kick seems to tire me out even more than fly kick so i've kind of avoided it at all costs :o thinking 'why bother, it won't do me any good'...but based on your experience, i think i'm going to need t do with free kick like i did with fly kick - start building in sets of free kick with fins into every workout. :eek:!
did your freestyle times improve when your kicking times improved?
