Geochuck's Kicking is a Total Waste of Time Thread

I just wish someone could teach me how to integrate that kick into my swimming. For years I swam with a two beat crossover kick. I don't think it provided any forward propulsion at all. In fact I would go as far as to say I swam just as fast with a pull buoy as I did without. Recently I have been trying to change to a six beat kick. It feels so awkward and my legs seem to have no connection to my body at all. There seems to be no propulsion at all coming from the left leg and only every now and then do I seem to bite the water with my right foot. It is also exhausting and I can only manage 25m tops.:mad:
