I cannot do the flutter kick -- practicing with a kickboard I would go, very slowly, backwards.
I had no trouble learning the kicks associated with the sidestroke and the breast stroke.
So as soon as they started trying to teach me something other than the crawl, I learned to swim. Pity it took several years before some teacher was bright enough to do so.
