Kicking is expensive. It takes a lot of energy to produce speed with your legs, and a big kick takes a lot more energy than a smaller kick.
In short sprints of 50 yards or meters or less, you’ll want to fully employ your kick to create as much speed as possible. It’s all about maximizing speed with little concern for energy conservation. In longer races such as the 1500 meters or 1650 yards, you’ll want to be conservative with your kicking until you get to the final sprint to the finish. With every race in between, there’s a lot more discretion as to how to best use your kick. #swimming #freestyleswimming
