Welcome to Swimming World\u2019s Set of the Week sponsored by <\/span>Commit Swimming.com<\/span><\/a>! This week\u2019s set is a big kick for early in your season for building leg endurance. We\u2019ve all heard the expression \u201cthe legs feed the beast,\u201d and this is a great set for making sure your beast doesn\u2019t get hungry! <\/span><\/p>\n

Moving through multiple rounds, the set starts with some moderate kicking before quickly adding in multiple fast 50\u2019s and sprint kick 25\u2019s, including tombstone kicking with their kickboards straight up in the water to add some more resistance. At 2400 yards this set is nothing to sneeze at, and to keep it interesting try varying the kick by round. IMer\u2019s can go one round each stroke, while stroke swimmers can alternate between flutter kick and their main stroke kick. <\/span><\/p>\n
