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

Syd, I could have written what you wrote. I'm a 2 beat kicker and until I started reading this thread, couldn't imagine being anything but...and why? So yesterday I was shooting for a 100 here and there of using more kick (I can't count beats...whatever) during my 500s. It was exhausting, having to actually think about my swimming stroke. And during my 25 sprints, I reverted right back to 2 beats. Argh. I doubt I'll ever get it down, but I'll keep trying.
