What would you consider as the most important reason to include kicking in your workouts?
Also, what do you see as the main difference and purpose between the exercises kicking with a board and kicking without a board?

I agree with Oguz, it makes sense to practice what you race. If you are a D person, then your 2 beat kick makes sense if that is what you are going to race with. If you are a sprinter, it is worth it to kill yourself a little earlier with a six beat kick.
If you look at alot of the distance swimmers in short course, they are 6 beat kicking off the wall for about 12.5 and then two beating into the wall. Seems to be something new? not sure.
