Swimming Instructions: 2-Beat Kick And Learning

Here is a follow-up to 2-Beat Kick Steps…

**

Have you been struggling to get in sync with the 2-Beat Kick?

You are not alone, for sure. But don’t give up.

Many people give up on it because they stumble at the beginning and quickly feel frustrated and discouraged. If you don’t have that cross-body connection as a natural or trained talent (from other movement arts), or it has been buried by years of 6-Beat Kicking (or your own funky arrhythmia) it can be tricky for the un-tuned brain to pick up on this at first.

But why do some, like you perhaps, struggle with it so much?

It’s not the skill that is at fault – as if the 2-Beat Kick was not meant for you.

And it is not the swimmer that is at fault – as if you were not meant for it.

It’s the learning method (or lack of one) you are using that needs adjustment.
