The Great Raemondo Aug 2021 7:42pm, 2 Aug 2021 8,081 posts	0 The Great Raemondo I refuse to believe it's August. July 33rd for the win.
LindsD Aug 2021 8:39pm, 2 Aug 2021 48,828 posts	0 LindsD I'm with Rae here. ION IBS Question for the swimmers: are fc legs the same as the leg kick you use for diving? (PADI diving, not the Tom Daley kind).
Ness Aug 2021 8:50pm, 2 Aug 2021 16,427 posts	0 Ness It’s been a few years since I’ve done any diving LindsD but if I remember correctly, a frog kick was advised to be best. Modified breast stroke. Particularly if near the sea bottom to avoid kicking up sand or silt. Could be wrong about that though.
LindsD Aug 2021 8:57pm, 2 Aug 2021 48,830 posts	0 LindsD Sorry. My question was the other way around. I can do diving legs (usually with fins) but can never manage fc legs

Angus Clydesdale Aug 2021 9:16am, 3 Aug 2021 23,010 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale I’m confused about what you mean by “diving legs” Linds. Is it leg beat you’re talking about? As in 2-beat, 4-beat, 6-beat?

EvilPixie Aug 2021 9:19am, 3 Aug 2021 26,949 posts	0 EvilPixie I just kick and if I try to think about kicking everything else fails! I think I kick less rather than more Maybe that's why I am slow - I'm "lazy" and don't kick hard enough or frequently enough and don't "pull" through the stroke just move my arms without too much effort? But then if I increase my kick or pull I may go faster but my HR is up and I can't sustain it

The Great Raemondo Aug 2021 9:27am, 3 Aug 2021 8,082 posts	0 The Great Raemondo Legs don't really do much in front crawl, except get in the way if you let them sink too much, iirc. You want to move them enough to stop drag but no more, and focus on more efficient and effective arms (and regular breathing, of course), I'm fairly sure.
