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.

Take a video in slow motion I am sure you will find it. If not add it.
Is it possible to have a 2nd kick and not know it?
pretty sure I had it in age group but as far as I can tell I am now down to one in my 2nd career. A coach told me I am doing it but I can't feel anything. ????
Seems it might be close to impossible to swim the stroke correctly without it but it all happens so fast I can never break it down. My legs and kick in general are now so weak that maybe it has reduced to a small portion of a kick or something??
