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?

What people forget is that you can take just about any regular swimming set, and turn it into a kicking set. You just change the intervals. Most people don't work kicking sets nearly as hard as they would a swimming set. A good aerobic kicking set should get your heartrate up, and make you tired. Kick sets are not social hour.
I almost did the hour swim as all kick this year. Goal would have been 4000 yards. (That's holding 1:30 per 100.) Perhaps next year.
