  • some swimmers don't have effective streamlines or SDKs. they dive in, go too deep, stay under too long, lose momentum, & sometimes practically stop. Many move faster by getting to the surface and swimming. Each swimmer needs to figure out their break out zone & have a kick count strategy. I'm always impressed with how fast some people can dolphin kick underwater, but should we really be impressed by someone swimming slower underwater than they can on the surface? There's no point in stretching your underwaters if you aren't going faster than you would on the surfaece, after all.
