You might try kicking with a pull buoy first so that you can work on the timing without worrying about your legs sinking. Otherwise I would focus on the power of each kick to rotate your body and less on the rhythm. Good Luck! teaching rhythm is a tough thing.

I'm struggling with the timing on the 2-beat kick. I've watched your short clips. Can you suggest anything about the rhythm? I need to "hear it" in my head while I'm swimming. Not sure that makes any sense. I'm going from a 6-beat kick and today I was able to slow down to a 4-beat but when I try to slow down more to the 2 beats, I'm floundering. Any help is appreciated.

It's ironic that you posted this particular topic this week. I was just thinking the very same thing after reading your last post. Even veteran swimmers can learn a few things from someone who does it better. Of course, the first thing you think of after watching yourself is: “do I really look like that”?
