Kick Techniques

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, David

    I'm a "borderline" two beat kicker (more comfy at using a 4beat pattern). I don't know if it's the result of being border line but for me, 2beat kick is still kicking. Matter of fact, each of my 2 beat kick is very powerful. When carefully timed with the rest of the stroke this kicking pattern works. It's impossible for me to just feel like letting them drag almost inactive whilst expecting them to stay at the surface.
