OK gang.
The "kicking" bullies have rounded on me even though I had a fantastic swim this weekend. They are telling me I need to kick, my coach said don't over do it b/c it disrupts the stroke...
I can kick, I maybe didn't intergrate it in my 100FR to their approval but I am not convinced that kicking alone is the way to go.
I think working 100's with kick focus is a better way rather than yards and yards at "meh" pace.
What % of your yards do you kick per week, and how much of that is with fins?

I NEVER kick except to warm up the little froggy legs for real swimming (this done only to prevent any pulled muscles in especially sensitive areas). Otherwise I rate it right down there with watching re-runs of political ads from the 2000 election.
Guess it's a good thing I don't compete against Chris Stevenson and I never cared to follow along with what the majority of the 'great' coaches think I should be doing. Hmmm, does that make me a maverick?
Since Rich doesn't have a 0% I didn't select one, although the George Park option would have worked.
