No mate! At no moment in time did I mention the word "Catch".
I said: I kick with left foot the moment my right hand enters the water. As per your video, this is EXCACTLY what we see below:
Right hand enters the water - Left foot initiates kick. Does that coincide with the left-hand catch? Yes it does!
Do you agree? Thank you
So for me, I do this: When I put me RIGHT arm in the water, I kick with my LEFT foot. And visa versa really.
Think "push down" with the arch/toes of your feet. Dont seek propulsion, but lift (of your legs). And use the push to rotate.
This is not the right way to do 2 beat. You use the right leg to kick when the right hand starts/does the catch (this video shows the right way

To the OP, I think you can get it in few months, don't expect to be Ledecky anytime soon though. Work with a good swimming coach. Once you get the pendulum motion feel a few times, it just clicks. I love swimming on 2 beat, I find it very relaxing despite not going as fast as 4 or 6 beat.
