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 ). ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/wink.gif)
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.
