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.

  • I'm truly inspired! Because I never realized those training wheels actually came off! :D But seriously, I'm looking forward to the experience you describe - and will stick with it till it happens. As for kicking rhythm, does 4-beat fit in to the picture anywhere? I do 2-beat for longer swims, but when I speed up, I find myself naturally going to 4-beat. 6-beat seems like it would really require a huge output of energy. Is that part of the learning to swim with an engaged core equation?
