How much does a swimmer's kick affect his/her stroke length? Should a weak kicker use long stroke style? I am a WEAK kiker and 5.58 feet (170 cm) tall, what is my optimal stroke count for 25 yard?

A bad kicking action will have a negative impact on drag. It increases drag resistance. Which in turn will have a negative impact on stroke length.QUOTE]
Great point, but my interpretation of inefficient kicking action would focus less on flexibility and more on kicking too far outside the body line as a result of poor balance or instability.
Actually I am aware of that, so I also tried no kick (If I sense my legs sink I kick one or two). Seems it doesn't affect stroke length either.
