excellent drill
Erik don't we sink to the bottom and float to the surface
It allows swimmers to experiment with the amplitude and frequency of their SDK
is it better to take
many small SDKs (like crocker) or fewer larger SDKs (like phelps)
Besides everything that Ande listed here is an exercise I really like for SDK.
Pick a deep pool about 10-12 feet - let yourself float to the bottom and do an explosive push off the bottom and start your kicks - get in as many kicks as possible before you reach your highest point (hips or further out of the water). Let yourself glide to the bottom again without rest and repeat -- after 4 - 5 go the wall and do one regular pushing off the wall. I like this drill because you can get in 5 of these very quickly and it teaches you to kick quicker than going of a regular wall.
