Freestyle kick

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...

    It was hard to believe but true I had to literally force the legs back into the water by lifting my head slightly. I am very high floater, Bob Kiputh could not believe my bouyancy when he was offering me a scholarship to swim for Yale.
