In response to "just put some fins on, that'll make you go faster and that'll keep you in the swim of things, you use a lot more and lot different muscles swimming..." by zeitgeist

are you training for a tri or just getting in shape? if former then eventaully you'll need a coach, if just getting in shape then over kicking won't - zeitgeist Oct 20, 18:47 2
