When swimming freestyle using 2-beat kicks, which leg do you kick, in relation to the hands? The one on the same side as the stretched hand or the opposite side?

Thanks for the links to previous discussions and the video clip! I just realized that I had kicked the correct way in the beginning but for the past month changed to the wrong leg thinking I had been wrong. No wonder I haven't improved my SPL. :eek:
Actually, I would say as George says, "Keep it simple!" and let it come naturally, your kicking (two-beat) will be in unison with your stroke. Just like walking, right arm, left leg and v.v. It comes naturally.
