What type of kick do you use on freestyle? 2-3-4 or 6 beat kick?
Responses

Depends.

2 or 6-beat. I cannot comprehend a 4 pattern. I use both no-kick and dolphin kick free drills. |
|
|
50/100M 6-beat (my coach would disagree, but then I have trouble counting to six) anything greater either a 2-beat or a Hackett-esque 4-beat (3 - 1) |
|
|
2-1 beat in practice and 4 beat in a race |
|
|
Switching through the "Three Style of Freestyle", I use all of them and even try to work on some 10 beat kick. |
