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?

    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! Slacker. :thhbbb:
