kick beats in reference to stroke cadence

Ok...here's another newbee question....is there some kind of mnemonic to help me coordinate kicks with my stroke..for instance 2 kicks per stroke...4 kicks per stroke, etc...right now I seem to just be "kicking"

  • I was just thinking about kick cadence this morning - somehow along the line later in my college swimming career, I transitioned to a 2-beat freestyle kick for anything less than fast tempo (or kind of a strange hybrid 2/4-beat gallop thing for 200 pace) and I can't seem to figure my way back into an easy 6-beat. It's weird.
