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...

Oh so true I know of coaches at university level who have received gifted swimmers and those gifted swimmers have become worse swimmers. Never again to attain what they did as age groupers. It takes a skilled coach to advance even gifted swimmers.
