Tomorrow, November 15, 2023, launches the beginning of our annual Kick-Vember Challenge. The goal of this challenge is to get triathletes and swimmers focused on improving their kick. An efficient kick is a fundamental piece of an efficient swim.

The Challenge is simple. We will do a timed 50 yard kick (for Short Course Meters and Long Course Meters we will convert times*) and the fastest male and female at the end of the Challenge on December 15 will receive a $50 gift card.

The contest rules are below:

• 50 kick must be done with a kickboard
• Swimmer can use a snorkel
• Only one stroke can be taken before the turn
• Board must touch the wall at the finish with both hands on the kick board
• For remote entries, entire 50 kick must be filmed and timed with a stopwatch

To enter, film your 50 kick and time with a stopwatch. Reply to this email with your entry. All videos will be posted to the Swim Easy Speed Instagram. A weekly update of the top 10 times (male and female) on the Swim Easy Speed Instagram.

*Short Course Meters Conversion minus 2.8 seconds

*Long Course Meters Conversion minus 3.7 seconds

I look forward to all the entries and happy kicking.

Best regards,

Tim Floyd
