    We use the Hillmen breakout chart to measure the effectiveness of our swimmers kick/breakouts. The chart measures feet/time and gives a quotient or number comparing your's to great swimmers. Simply counting the number of kicks isn't going to tell you if you're efficient/effective. You'll need to have someone time you to see what kind of kick and how far you to kick to find the most efficient method. It is indeed individual and important to find out what works best for you. Good luck, Coach T.
