I remain convinced that:
1) improving swimming technique,
2) training for speed in the water, &
3) strengthening the muscles that apply power to the water while remaining light and lean
translate into greater pool speed.
However, I remain to be convinced that kick-boxing, etc translate into greater pool speed.
I think there is no substitute for doing the right things in the water.
YMMV.
