How much kicking should be done in open water? I have generally thought that excessive kicking is not very efficient (and more tiring being a large muscle group) in longer distances. When I was out last week, my kayaker said I wasn't kicking at all. I know I don't kick much, but I didn't realize it was so little and so noticeable. So, how much kicking should be done? How much benefit vs energy expenditure?
I'd like to hear about this too. My kick is very weak too. I do a lake swim once a week, about 1.5 miles. This week I concentrated on kicking more and ended up with lower leg/foot cramps in the last hundred yards or so. Had to *** stroke into shore to work out the cramping.
