So I've got a really silly question. What is the difference between a one and two-beat kick in strokes? Is this only a fly thing? Even though I used to swim and am swimming again I can't quite figure out what the definition of this is. Or maybe I just don't remember or am not familiar with the term. In either case, can someone help?

OH! I totally get it. So lets use fly for an example:
One beat would be like:
Kick, Stroke, Kick, Stroke, Kick, Stroke
And two b eat would be like:
Kick, Kick, Stroke, Kick, Kick, Stroke
(That is, the kicks are going on while the stroke is going not like, kicking by themselves and then stopping and then having a stroke.)
Is that it?
If that is what it is, then I seem to naturally gravitate to a two-beat kick, but I've been wondering if that's actually legal, lol.
