Hi there, first time posting, just found out about this wonderful forum. I learned about French girl Laure Manaudou using a 2 beat kick to swim 400m. But the clip on youtube is too fast i couldn't figurt out which leg kicks goes with which stroking arm. Does anybody know? Is it the opposite leg kick with the stroking arm? Or is it the same side? Thanks.

    I actually think you did the right think by accident :-) I watched Manaudou's video more carefuly this time, i think you're supposed to do a kick and arm stroke on the same side, not the opposite. Opposite side works best for me. It's just like walking, when you put one leg and opposite arm forward for balance. Here's a demonstration (me) slowed down 50%. You shouldn't emulate anything I do except the 2-beat kick if that's what you want to do. video.google.com/videoplay
