I'm aiming to improve my long distance swimming. I've seen reference to 2 and 6 beat kicks. I've looked on youtube and such but haven't seen anything that clearly shows how it works. Could someone please explain it to me and point me in the right direction? Thanks,

Is it possible that I am using a 2,4, or 6 beat kick without even knowing it?
My kick seems to usually consist of mostly dragging my feet with sporadic weak kicks unless I am sprinting and then I pick it up significantly.
Also in fly I can't feel much of a 2nd kick. Yet if I try to emphasize this it just gets my rythem all messed up.
