I know I could look up the rule somewhere but I figured this would be easier. When you flip on your stomach to start the turn in the backstroke, can you continue to kick or do you have to stop kicking once you get on your stomach and just glide into the turn.

There is no problem with gliding to the wall in the other strokes (other than it slowing you down). The backstroke stipulations are the result of trying to restrict how much swimming you can do on your front while swimming "backstroke". You can glide in as much as you want in backstroke if you stay on your back.
