Any triathletes here?

I sprained my ankle playing tennis earlier this week so I've been limited to just pulls during our swim practices =(

Excuses, excuses.

Just get in the pool and wprk on your timing and breathing, Kevin. I use mostly upper body when I swim to conserve my legs for everything else. Maybe next year, I'll get some coaching and see where it can take me.

I'm good on timing and breathing, but I need my legs to have a better idea since your legs use up more oxygen then your upper body. Yes it is true when swimming freestyle your stroke is where most of your momentum comes from. If you grab a kickboard and just kick vs grabbing a pull buoy and just stroke, you will notice a significant increase in speed in the latter vs the former. I swam in high school =D
