-50 free:
-100 free:
-200 free:
-500 free (short):
-400 free (long):
-50 fly:
-100 fly:
-200 fly:
-100 back:
-200 back:
-------------------
I don't really count, but I will begin doing it....
For the 50 free (short)...1 dolphin kick, 200 free 2, 100 fly between 3-5, I don't know the others....YET
I think you will find that it is a very personal thing...there are swimmers that have the ability to kick 15m underwater for a 100 (Crocker) and there are swimmers that take no SDK's and break national records Cielo from Auburn going 18+ in the 50.
Like all things swimming there are some great theories but not everyone can make them work because of various physiological (someone with poor ankle flexibility may not be able to do any effective sdk's) or psychological reasons (some people are simply uncomfortable with it).
Play around and try everything and don't get so stuck into what you should be doing vs. what you can do functionally very well....than practice-perfect.
