Can someone explain to me the differences in the Kicking Rhythms? I feel that my kick is not consistent and is really holding me back. I feel like w the pull buoy I can swim all day but once I add in the kick I tire a lot quicker. Maybe this is common for everyone.

  • Can someone explain to me the differences in the Kicking Rhythms?The 2 main kicking rhythms are a 2-beat kick (per complete arm cycle) and a 6-beat kick. Kicking inconsistent can be attributed to lots of causes, such as bad hand placement (over-reaching can throw the hips out of line and require compensation from the kick), asymmetrical body roll, improper balance (head too high, hips/legs drop), not kicking up AND down, lack of ankle/knee/hip flexibility , too much knee bend, not enough knee bend...
