I always feel it's almost impossible for me to know my kick pattern. I feel my kick is a mess. Today I paid some attention to it and found my pattern. I am using a 4 beat kick. There is a heavy beat with my left leg when my right arm enters. Then three light beats when my right arm does the entire stroke. The third beat is did by my right leg when I enter my left arm. Then I just repeat this kind of procedure when I swim.
So its like da, da, da, daaaa, da, da, da, daaaa, da, da, da, daaaa..........
I didn't see other people are doing this kind of stuff. Pretty weird. Also I guess this explains why I can't breath to both sides.

Look at videos of Grant Hacket swimming at wrolds. His kick rythm is not real steady. He has one long kick with right hand then waits then some kicks.
