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...

This past spring, I had the great honor of sitting next to Peter Daland at the NCAA's in Atlanta.
Mr. Daland and I were watching the finals of the 1650, during the race, he told me his nickname for Larsen. He said he calls him "Mr. Kick" Mr. Daland said that Lar's kick is impressive but he thinks Jensen would be better suited to turn down the kick and increase his spl.
That coming from Peter Daland.
