I have two questions.
1)When someone refers to 2 beat or 6 beat for a kick, is that per stroke or is that per two strokes (left arm, then right arm)?
2)It may just be me, but it seems impossible to count my kicks if I am trying to keep track of how many are in one stroke. It's like when people can pat their head while rubbing their stomach in circles...Is there another way to count the "beats" or do you have to be some citizen of waterworld?

Hey Rob,
I just hit the pool and for some reason, I can't get my kick to slow down to two beats. If I don't use my arms, and just kick, I can do it (well, what I think would be two beats), but if I add my arms into it, I can't coordinate it? My brain just tells my brain to kick as fast as I can.
Is there a drill or something you can recommend?
Thanks.
