The two-beat kick is a minimalist, energy-efficient kicking technique used in freestyle swimming, where one kick is paired with each arm pull — making it ideal for long-distance swimming and open water races. In this video, you'll learn a dryland drill designed specifically to help swimmers feel and coordinate the two-beat kick movement before entering the water. This exercise helps improve timing, body rotation awareness, and core engagement — all key to executing an efficient two-beat kick. ✅

In this video, we discuss how to improve your kick and we look at getting back to basics and what that can do for you. With kick, there are two main mistakes I see.
