TYR Swim Set of the Week – Fly Kick, What?!?!

by Haley on February 28, 2014

Recently, my coach, Matthew Rose, has been peppering my swim workouts with fly kick. He claims it doubles as abdominal work, but I think he just likes to torture me! I actually grew up swimming backstroke and doing TONS of fly kick (usually underwater) so you’d think a couple 50s here and there would be easy for me. Wrong! I struggle!! And now, so can you!!

I do most of my kicking on my back because I’m still a backstroker at heart and I’m too lazy to carry around a kickboard. Same with a pull buoy; I do most of my pulling “paddles only.” You are more than welcome to use a board and buoy! I fully support the use of “toys” if they make swimming more fun for you!

Give the set below a try and let me know what you think about fly kick! Love it? Hate it? I have to admit, it’s a great workout! Maybe Coach is on to something… :) Happy Friday!!
