Hi all....quick background....I never thought for 2 seconds about swimming until I decided to lose a few lbs and running on concrete was as fun as pulling teeth. I started running the beach then started wading water watching the sunset....awesome I must say. Then I started swimming.....immediately found the only exercise I really love. I can now open water swim 1 or 2 miles no problem and I feel I'm crushing. My form just found itself after battling the ocean for a year. I do what I read last night is a 2 beat. I tried a 6 beat this am for half my swim and holy **** was it tougher. My hips are sore and it had me gasping. Are you all switching it up or using one or the other? I still feel faster on the 2 beat.
