My masters coach, who used to coach high schoolers, insists that we do (lately all) kick sets with running shoes (all stroke kicks, usually 5 sets of 100 or 2 hundred). I absolutely hate it! I can't feel the water on my feet, I feel like it's way too much effort to make any positive forward movement, and don't see how it will make me a faster swimmer. :bitching: So, am I just a big whiner, or do any of you see any benefit from a masters swimmer swimming with running shoes?
It's a great way to blow out your knees...
Or ruin a good pair of running shoes.
Not an advanced swimmer yet but I like to do timed 25's without a kick board from a dead start next to the wall without a push. This is on my own since I don't practice with a team regularily. 25M is 34 seconds but as this improves then my kick must improve too.
