Welcome to the kicking lane, grab your boards or not, wear your fins or not.
One of the keys to swimming faster is:
develop an awesome kick and figure out how to use it when you're swimming.
We're working on speed, speed endurance, & kicking conditioning so you can have an amazing kick when you need it the most. Your awesome kick will help you be a fierce finisher.
Kick sets aren't time to cruise, go through the motions and chat. They are time to WORK, blast your legs and MAKE EM BURN.
What are you doing to kick faster?
where are you now?
Where would you like to be?
What are your current kicking times?
for 15, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, & 500
yards, SCM or LCM?
with or without a board?
from a push or dive?
what suit did you wear?
What did you do before it? (During the practice, how much rest?)
When did you do it? (What part of the season was it?)
What's the best intervals you can hold for 5 or 10 x 50, 100, or 200 kick?

Some of my kicking tips:
1. Kick wearing a snorkel (restricting air)
2. Streamline boards and fins
3. Underwater 25's (SDK or just streamline) with and without fins
4. Quality sets (all out 50's, 100's with lots of rest)
5. Descending kick sets (dropping interval after each distance)
6. Running/jogging
7. Other leg drylands
8. Core exercises
