2) maybe this group of subjects had less low hanging fruit to pick than a person who is a poor kicker

Sorry......couldn't resist.
Now I'll be serious. I think everyone's stroke is different. I beleive sprinters need a strong, fast kick. Distance swimmers usually CAN'T kick fast......leg muscles use up a lot of O2 needed for endurance events. My kick is extremely important to my speed and stroke. People tease me and say I have a 10 beat kick. My upper body strength stinks...I get lapped on pull sets.
