I need some help with the proper kick cadence (sequence) in freestyle. I have been told that at hand entry the opposite side leg should be kicking down. So I guess the sequence should be coordinated as follows:
left leg kicks down as right leg kicks up - right arm enters water
left leg up/right leg down
left leg down/right leg up
left leg up/right leg down - left arm enters water
etc......
Is this right? I have been having a hard time achieving this and end up kicking sort of randomly. Are there any stroke drills to help implant the correct kick sequence into muscle memory?

Wow! Way too much to think about. The only time I kick hard is in a sprint, and I only do that at the end of a distance event.
I guess I only keep my legs moving just enough so they dont drag the bottom.:cool:
