Now that I've finally managed to get my 2-beat freestyle kick timing more or less corrected (left leg kicking down on right hand entry, etc.), I'm wondering if the same principle applies to the backstroke kick?
Most backstroke kicking advice I've seen seems to be of the "just kick continuously" variety.
Does it make sense to work on kicking up with the opposite foot at hand entry in backstroke?
Thanks for any suggestions.
I have a six beat backstroke kick, and four are on my sides - two kicks on one side, two straight up as I roll to the other side, then two on the other side. Then back again. At least I think I am doing it that way . . .
