Im after some advice when it comes to the kick element of the swim if you wouldn’t mind.
Im not a great swimmer (best IM sea swim 1:08) and im aware I have quite a few things I need to work on (body rotation, catch, extension etc) which I am slowly improving on, but my query is around the kick element of the swim.
My kick is fairly strong when compared to my club mates, and when viewed as a time against my 100 swim. 100m swim flat out is about 1:30, 100m kick with float about 1:45, 100m with flippers flat out is about 1:15.
My query is, how do I take advantage of this whilst I continue to improve the other elements of my stroke. Im happy with doing 2/4/6 beat kicks and I have never trained my kick, it is something I was just able to do when I learnt to swim late in life.
I have a few people pass comment that I kick to much for a triathlete etc, but my current thought process is, this is my strength im going to take advantage of it, but am I right to do this? Is there a way to take further advantage out of it?
Cheers
