Does anyone else here NOT kick when they swim freestyle?
When I was 19, a coach told me that a lot of "real" freestylers don't kick, which was a surprise to me because every other coach I'd had would yell at me to kick during my events. I grew up thinking I was the odd one out, but maybe someone on here knows what I'm talking about...

Terry we respect what you say but we do have the right to dispute anything you say. Just wondering as you say you sold more books then those other 2guys so everyone has to follow your words exactly. I certainly did not follow Ernie or Doc's everyword i even believe they made a few errors.
You have contributed a lot. There are good things in your stuff but I think you have it wrong when you say Councilman inherited all of his swimmers. Because when you inherit swimmers some are pretty bad and have had very poor instruction/coaches. I think there are some pretty knowledgeble people on this site and I will listen and use whatever I think is good.
George Breen used a 2 beat kick and his stroke looked helter skelter but he sure moved through the water.
Even though I am 73 years old I am still learning and you should still be learning.
