proper flutter kick

I am a rookie in swimming so please take it easy on me if the question sounds too dumb.When swimming freestyle my ankles tend to criss-scross each other while flutter kicking.That happens when I rotate my body on the side for the arm recovery.Is it supposed to happen or are legs supposed to be parellel to each other at all times.How can I avoid doing that? Thanks.

    Some people naturally have a crossover kick (two or four beat). If it works for you there may not be any reason to try to change it. At one time the two beat crossover was very common, esp. among distance swimmers. I use it but then again I don't get a lot of propulsion from my kick.
