George is not going to like this!:duel:I have to admit though, ever since I started to focus on core work and kicking I have seen some significant drops in my times. I actually like it. I kicked my guts out for years. But when I swtched to swimming marathon races I had to ease off.
Can you imagine swimming a 10 hour swim kicking hard for 108,000 beats.
What I say is you do not have to spend a lot of time on the kick, the kick can be incorporated into your full stroke swimming.
The way a few go on --- the kick is more important then the arms.
I did do 30 minutes kicking the other day as I could not find room at the pool to do laps. I could not kick laps the pool was so crowded I held onto the wall. It was not perfect but the only thing I could do.
Did Troy say exactly how much time the team kicked. It could have been 10 minutes up to 12 minutes every month.
Which is a little over 20%.
