Dont need it, thanks to TI
Appreciate the post, but I don't need to ever kick with a board. The two kick beat kick changed my life in the water. I will never do anything more in the tri's or any other swimming. This is one of...

kicking set
With a kick board I go backwards when kicking. I get about 20 yards and I am completely out of breathe. I am a runner, and was so demoralized before TI, especially when using a kick board. TI set me...

running for years
My advice - do as the Coach above says.
Learn to rest your head in the water. Although I had many stroke flaws in the beginning, when I did this I was able to go much farther. I really believe after...

yes I believe in the TI way (strict or not)
I saw another reply which suggests TI and TI coaches would not expect a strict set of exercises to learn, or order of exercises. This may be true, but back to this whole line of discussion, whats the...

Go for it - TI Coach is the bomb
I am a firm believer in TI and nothing else. I swam for almost 5-6 years the old way and even utilized a coach once. I was kick boarding and doing all kinds of dumb exercises. Most of the time I was...
