How much do you kick per week?

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 answered 30% with no fins. Definitely no fins. I enjoy kicking and will often take the assigned set and kick instead of the assigned pull or swim set. When I feel like my stroke is not feeling strong for a couple practices in a row, I will do even more kicking than usual and it almost always brings me out of my stroke funk. Tim
