I wonder how many DOLPHIN KICKS after touching the wall is the average on each event
I know... short and long course are different....just specify
-50 free:
-100 free:
-200 free:
-500 free (short):
-400 free (long):
-50 fly:
-100 fly:
-200 fly:
-100 back:
-200 back:
-------------------
I don't really count, but I will begin doing it....
For the 50 free (short)...1 dolphin kick, 200 free 2, 100 fly between 3-5, I don't know the others....YET
it's different for each swimmer
each swimmer needs to:
1) train to make their SDK as fast as possible
(unless they determine that it's hopeless and not worth the effort) and
2) identify the ideal # of kicks off each wall in each race
the number of SDK's a swimmer takes depends upon:
1) how fast the swimmers SDK is relative to their free, fly and back
also how fast the swimmers SDK is at various distances
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, & 14meters (left off 15 don't cut it too close)
and how many kicks it takes to get to that point.
swimmers should know how fast they are
a. off starts and
b. from a turn
Swimmers should know how fast they are when they are
a. fresh / unfatigued and
b. fatigued, even at various points of fatigue
100: 1st turn, 2nd turn, & 3rd turn
200: 1st - 7th turn
Swimmers need to experiment identify their breakout points for each stroke and race
They should do several fast timed 25s changing the SDK count
do this over several weeks
I swim free, fly and bk
my free and fly is faster than my SDK
My SDK is faster than my back
2) Swimmers also need to know
how well they've trained their SDK for speed and speed endurance
SDK-ing is most difficult in longer events
there's the speed / need for air / fatigue tradeoff
3) how committed and determined the swimmer is to stick with his SDK counts in his race
Again it's something each swimmer has to figure out and train
better questions might be
How many SDK's have you taken in the following events?
How many would you like to take?
Why?
for each race you listed mine are
or
what I'd like mine to be are
-50 free: 6 - 8
-100 free: 5 - 7
-200 free: 4
-500 free (short): 2 - 4 then 5 - 6 off the last turn
-400 free (long): 2 - 4 then 5 - 6 off the last turn
-50 fly: 8 - 10
-100 fly: 6 - 8
-200 fly: (i never swim this race)
-50 back 12
-100 back: 10
-200 back: 5
