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...

My response to this:
As is with most things regarding people there is no cookie cutter, one size fits all answer or solution.
was: "Couldn't agree more, unless you're trying to sell books, of course."
I was not referring specifically to totalswimm in this post. This is a common approach which appeals to a lot of people and does sell a lot of books (self help, weight loss, sports, parenting, you name it).
But neither was I excluding totalswimm.
As for this: "Inferring that my motivation in contributing to this forum is to sell books...", I don't recall posting anything to that effect. However, I think it's safe to assume that totalswimm may see this forum as an opportunity to promote TI among Masters swimmers. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
