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.

How's everyones SDKs going today.
I did 2 fast 50's SDK from a push SCY
went 26.2 & 26.0
Mon did 15 x 100 LCM fly K with no board no fins from a dive
most were 17's, a few 18's, 2 19's & last was 1:14
did 6 SDKs off the dive & 0 off the turn except for the last one
hope to take another whack at it on Monday
ande
A couple interesting links to short articles:
www.drmirkin.com/.../lactic_acid.html (challenges the theory that acidification is reason that muscles "seize up" as LA concentration increases)
www.drmirkin.com/.../lactic_acid_intervals.html (most swimmers don't need to be sold on the benefits of interval training, but still interesting)
