Hello, I'm new here.
I'm 59 and getting back into swimming. I've always had a poor kick. Right now some times are as follows - 25 yd pool, start in water.
100 free 1:20,
100 free, pull only with pull buoy 1:25
50 yd kick with kick board 2:30
I've read on improving my kick and I know several things to work on like ankle flexibility. I'm not really looking for advice (although I'll happily accept it), just an idea if this is really as bad as I think or if it is more common that I think. Do those times look like a REALLY BAD kick? Is it common to get almost no help from your kick?
Thanks,
bw

I have a hard time believing this is true. I'm also not sure this is a sincere question. I don't know anyone who kicks a 50 in 2:30. But to answer your question, it is the worst kick I have ever heard of. Since you are not seeking advice, I won't offer any. I don't mean to sound rude, but your kick time is implausible to me.
