I am just learning to swim and I am having a very difficult kicking in the correct way. My swim couch tells me that I am bending my legs too much and it seems like he has given up on me. How can I correct bending my legs. Can someone give me some tips to keep my legs straight while kicking. I am not moving at all while kicking.
I am sure it's obvious, but is there a simple definition of 2 beat and 6 beat kicks? I am sure it's kick 6 times for every two arm strokes but there must be more to it or there would also be a 4 beat kick. For myself, still new to swimming, the difference between the 2 and 6 is that the 6 beat is twice as exhausting for a marginal increase of velocity. The 4 beat kick I can't comprehend.
