We love to SDK. It's the 5th stroke. It takes skill, strength, flexibility, conditioning & mental toughness.
For many it's the 2nd fastest stroke, but it's not a legal stroke.
We wish it was legal. We wish there weren't 15 m restrictions in races.
We count our kicks because kicks count.
We train to SDK faster. Some call SDKs underwaters or dolphins.
What are you doing to improve your SDK?
How many do you take in each race?
Help! My SDK is Horrible! has many tips & a program to get faster.
Here's a helpful post in it.
What are your SDK times?
15, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 & 200?
Spend some time in the SDK lane & you'll be kicking faster before you know it.
the breastroke lane
The Middle Distance Lane
The Backstroke Lane
The Butterfly Lane
The SDK Lane
The Taper Lane
The Distance Lane
The IM Lane
The Sprint Free Lane
The Pool Deck
In other words, during a 100m SC(whatever yards or meters), during the second 50 you take between 6 and 10 SDK off each walls?
Yeah.
Same for the 200 BF?
For some reason I specifically remember that in one of the 200 flys that I raced this year, I took 7 SDK's off the final wall. So, yeah.
How many meters do you travel under water with 6-10 SDK?
I'm not sure. Maybe 8 meters from a pushoff?
SDK habits during any duration backstroke event don't interest me at all. Just the butterfly.
OK. :)
