Geochuck's: Kicking is a Total Waste of Time Thread

I have a 6 beat kick that I usually use. I also use a 4 and a 2 beat kick, I have found they are interchangebale. My legs are always hi no matter how I kicked (I am a level floater). In distance swimming I did not want to consume oxygen when kicking so the legs were used as balancers. For me - my 6 beat kick is the difference between heaven and hell. When the kick drops, well.. then its only downhill...
