In the swimming community, Ian Thorpe is famous for his ridiculously powerful kick. Just watch any video of him in a race, and you will see that he takes arm strokes so infrequently compared to the other swimmers. His coach really emphasized kicking, and he spent a disproportionately large amount of time and effort in kicking. SO, grab a kickboard! Your coach will think you're the greatest thing that ever happened because you WANT to kick. Just remember, when the wall seems forever away, Ian Thorpe felt the same way when he was training.
PS- A powerful kick is huge in long course. That is why Ian Thorpe is so good at LC.
