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.

In a sprint, the extra speed is worth the energy expended for a second kick. But when I swim 1,000 yards of non-stop butterfly, I will only kick once, hard. What is a sprint depends on the swimmer I would say. But I am no expert.
