Hoping you had an opinion on training to get faster.
I've been just an ok age grouper (56) swimmer for 9 years. I started doing Masters the past 8 months. It has been great.
My question is about Kick. When doing a 25, 50 or the last 25 of any distance I can turn on the kick and really feel the difference. The rest of the time my kick is almost just a balance thing. When I try and kick hard during longer distances it just wears me out.
Typical times (yard pool) 25, :12.5; 50, :27.91; 100 1:02.4; 200 2:25 500 6:52
All the real swimmers blow me away when we do kick sets.
Should I just keep trying to add more fast kicking for longer and longer portions of the distances? or keep working on the pull portion and leave the kick as is?
