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?

Well here is my day yesterday:
9:00 until 2:00 guarding. 2:00 to 2:30 get in the pool & teach a small class of boys to swim.
2:30 until 4:00 guard.
4:00-4:30 hover at the Y with nothing to do.
4:30 get in the water again and coach for an hour!
5:30 go home
Eat, drink tea.
7:40 head back to Y (20 mins)
8:30 swim (until 9:50.)
Where I got to do this:
500 8:45
5x100 1:45, 100 EZ
10x 50 :50 (meant to be :45 but only got 2), 100 EZ
20 x 25 odd :20 even :30 (made 4 then had to go :25/:30) 100EZ
3 x 100 FR K with fins no board (L/F/R/B by 25) 2:00
3 x 100 FR K 75 cruise 25 hard no fins prob went on 3:00 (talking at wall)
3 x 100 FR K with fins & board hard n fast on 2:00
1 x 100 FLY K with fins & board easy focus on pelvic undulation.
4 x 50 EZ swim... counted strokes got down to 11 and then 9 (push glide and 2 SDK's).
It was tough to go back to the pool!
