Sometimes the freshest eyes to a sport are the ones that see the clearest ........ swim coaches thought hypoxic sets were beneficial for years (and many naively still do ). 
I'll be the first to admit that hypoxic sets are still a part of my routine. I am not going to debate here about it. Personally, I don't really care what some "sports scientist" tries to tell me.
If it works for me then I keep it in my routine. When I don't do these types of sets my breathing is not as good.
But that was a totally different thread that I just ignored completely. Honestly, at the end of the day...the debate team isn't going to convince me to do otherwise. I'm too pig headed for that...
I do agree that if you are strapped for time the kicking would be the first things to drop from your workout. But I don’t think that’s a question here. Obviously the OP is trying to kick and quite frankly if you’re a bad swimmer you should be working on your kick too. Even if you’re strapped for time.
