(Anonymous) 2013-03-14 01:42 am (UTC)(link)Butterfly uses a lot of core and upper body muscle, and that's where all your power comes from; while you can build the legs, the ideal is for them to be lean and flexible to carry through on the kick to keep you moving fluidly through the water. Breaststroke probably uses the most legwork out of all the strokes, since they need to be powerful enough to propel you forward during their part of the stroke cycle. Backstroke and freestyle ideally have short, rapid kicks, which mostly counterbalance the weight they create so your center of gravity is more towards your head (the closer it is to your hips, the more likely you are to sink them and ruin any hydrodynamics); there's certainly no harm in building up the legs, but the majority of the power comes from the arms. (I did distance freestyle and it actually took me a while to even get up a decent 6-beat kick, even though my times were still pretty stellar without it. I still never had much leg power, and I sucked ass at running, but I was one of the best freestylers on my team in SoCal.)
