The SDK Lane

ande
over 14 years ago
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

    During your fly events? Which one do you typically compete in? Both the 100 and the 200? Can you take say... 10m SDK off each wall during a 200m BF Short Course? I only really swim fly for my IM races - and occasional 50 & 100 fly in meets for training. I have to glide fly for a 200 and have only done it twice. I prescribe to the more underwater the better because its' less fly to swim. I'm a girl - age 52. Best fly times are my IM leadoff splits which always seems weird to me because those felt cruise and slow. Short course: 29. in the 50 @ 200IM (30.+ in a race) 1:07. in the 100 @ 400IM (1:09.+ in a race) All long long underwater - I don't count the SDKs, I go by feel. Ande tells me I should count them.
