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?

  • Paul, if you ever swam anything longer than the occasional 200 free, you'd realize that kicking is highly overrated. Besides, if Michelle ever learned to kick, I wouldn't be able to flip the counter fast enough to keep up with her.:notworthy: Hey, I did the 400 LC this summer. :argue: As for Michelle's legs? I think there's something biochemically that as soon as her head goes under water, her legs stop working :afraid:
