First we have to know a couple of things. What type of training are you doing? What is your time for 100 yards. How hard do you kick. Is your swim in the Ocean or in a pool.
If you swim in salt water the kick is different then if you swim in a fresh water pool don't over kick in salt water.
If you are swimming in the pool learn how to turn and be streamlined off the turns.
