Do you use a six-beat kick?

I have no idea. I get confused when I try to count my kicks because my feet work independantly from my arms :angel: I am glad I am not the only one. I was about to quit the sport when I couldn't figure out this fundamental question. But you are a much better swimmer than me so I guess I won't worry about it. Near as I can tell, when swimming aerobically I have a 2 beat kick followed by 2 non-kicks. Like a 1, .8, .2, .1 kick or something. When I sprint I kick harder and faster but I have no idea of the count.
