All,
I swim with a masters group a few times a week.
In full stroke freestyle over 800m I keep pace with a number of my peers, but lose about 50m over 800m when we switch to arms only w/ pull buoy.
Clearly an opportunity for improvement - but I'm a little stumped. My kick is not strong - frankly I struggle on kick sets.
I'd be interested in any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong (or doing so right when I add the legs).
I shoud probably add, I've been working on this for some time and its baffled a fair few coaches!

, try rolling more, with a simulated kick, and see what happens.
Those inner tubes remind me of the Medieval swimming days.
When coaches said "pain is good". Man were they brutal. :eek:
Yep, they are like doing drylands in the pool. Real killers, especially fly!
I recently asked my mother, who runs the ATL area Kastaway Swimwears, if she had any. It took her awhile to figure out what I was talking about. She didn't sell them, they are onto "ankle locks/straps" now. I used it the other day and I still want the big heavy resistance of the tube. I guess I enjoy the pain!?
