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

    Out of nowhere, at the end of my kick sets in my last practice, I cranked out a 25 SDK in 14 kicks -- not timed, as I was going for DPK and it was the end of a long workout anyway, but it felt very fast and I finished the length easily without breathing. I went back in 16 kicks, but I had to breathe once. What I did was streamline extra hard and lower my head more than usual. With each kick, I could feel a surge of water pushing on my chest, propelling me. I am not sure I can repeat it, but will try this again on my next kick day and check times vs DPK. It feels like I've discovered something. :banana:
