EvilPixie Aug 2021 9:30am, 3 Aug 2021 26,951 posts	0 EvilPixie that's my thinking! I kick at the end of an OW swim to try and stop the wobbles getting up and out but other than that they don't do much!

EvilPixie Aug 2021 9:38am, 3 Aug 2021 26,952 posts	0 EvilPixie Upper body and core are on my hit list! Love the idea of an AC master class
LindsD Aug 2021 9:49am, 3 Aug 2021 48,845 posts	0 LindsD I meant more that diving leg kick is from the hips. I don't think my slowness is down to strength. I'm sure it's efficiency. My breaststroke is so much faster. I feel like I must be doing something fundamentally wrong. I am so much slower at fc than everyone else in the lake. Every time. I am not less fit or strong than all of those people.
EvilPixie Aug 2021 9:59am, 3 Aug 2021 26,955 posts	0 EvilPixie yeah I belief it is kick from the hip I'm stupid slow but we do it my BS is slower still! and exhausting

EvilPixie Aug 2021 10:08am, 3 Aug 2021 26,957 posts	0 EvilPixie bloody swimming?
GregP Aug 2021 10:08am, 3 Aug 2021 128,386 posts	0 GregP baked salmon? Baking salmon probably takes longer than a length of swimming.
GregP Aug 2021 10:09am, 3 Aug 2021 128,387 posts	0 GregP I've not found baking salmon to be particularly arduous though. Perhaps she's doing it wrong?
Sweetie Aug 2021 10:11am, 3 Aug 2021 10,451 posts	0 Sweetie Linds - if you're really not sure what you're doing wrong (with swimming not baking salmon) it might be worth finding somewhere that does video analysis. I did that last year pre-Covid and it picked up several things in my stroke that I was completely oblivious about, it was really helpful.
