Kick sets with gym shoes ? ?

Has anyone heard of this technique or used it in swim practices? It seems to do nothing for me other than takes 2 min to do a 50 !! I would rather use small fins or just use my own 2 feet !

  • yes, sometimes we used to kick with shoes when I swam for UT (Sep 81 - May 86) I could kick 50 yards with shoes & a board in about 32 seconds I remember it felt funny to take them off & kick bare foot. not sure if or how much it helped, I am a fan of training hard to kick faster Ande Has anyone heard of this technique or used it in swim practices?
