when I swim at a middle distance race pace, like if im doing 5 x 100 on a quick interval my muscles get tired faster than my heart. I wont even be breathing hard but my arms are tired and causes my stroke techinque to go bad quick. Does anyone else have this problem.

  • I have to confess to being unsure what the "TI way" to kick is. Except that we really emphasize "tuning" the kick so it blends seamlessly with the overall body motion. I.E. We prefer that no particular aspect of the stroke be more noticeable or apparent than any other. What's your definition? Timing the kick with the rotation and hand entry rather than just a random "thrashing" of the legs. I try to time the kick to drive the rotation with the hand entry so that as I reach full extension my hips have reached the point of max. rotation. It's hard to put into words, it's more of a "feel" thing. I believe you have alluded to this elsewhere on the forum.
