2 beatkick progressions

3 small but challenging steps to assist the timing and coordination of the 2 beat kick.
Step 1 - tune in to the weight shift/ gravity drop of the body from a superman glide to skate drill, core stabilisers switched or the legs will kick to stabilise the body. Optimal rotation is reached with correct 'pressure on the water from the pull'
Step 2 - repeat the sequence, as the body begin the weight shift to neutral, flick the correct foot.*
Step 3 - complete a single stroke, and almost hover in your sweet spot, in order to feel the weight shift begin. Flick into extension - almost the feeling of a 'late' kick.
Avoid kicking the body into rotation, this is too early.

* correct leg - depends on how your brain organise's the movement pattern. Some like to identify the correct leg as the lower leg/ long arm leg. Others like to think of it as the opposite leg to the entering arm!!!
Yikes! Brain challenge or what! But kick the incorrect leg and you will not get that clean, corkscrew flow; more of a jarring effect.
