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?
I heard Scott Thompson,who is one heck of a good Masters coach ,say"you should listen carefully to what your coach says,and then do what you think is right."I did kicking with shoes in HS in the 60s.They are very bad for breaststrokers.
