  • But if you train your legs during practice with a lot of fast kicking, don't you build some endurance that will help you kick harder and longer in races? Or, as with SDKs, don't you become a better, more efficient kicker so that you go fast without as much effort? That's what I would say. But the same article (see the link) also claims underwater swimming is a waste of time, so SDKs are no good too. Hypoxic sets are also deemed worthless, joining the weight-lifting, kicking, and SDKs. Hmmm, apparently my swimming IQ really really sucks. I'll muddle along somehow.
