How important is the second kick? I'd like to hear what others think, but unfortunately, "second" is not an allowable search term on the forums ("too common").
Personally, I am starting to think that it is very important.
Here is a post I made in 2004
breaststroke, then somebody did the over the top recovery hence butterfly with a frog kick... in 1952 I saw Matt Mann jr (I think the third) do the butterfly using what he called the fish tail kick with one huge beat.... walla then they added another beat they called it the dolphin kick. Hence butterfly, my favorite other stroke.
Funny you write this, because thinking of the *** stroke as a modified butterfly has helped my *** stroke immensely.
