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'll be happy to see more replies to this old thread. It's hard for me to keep a consistent kick pattern in backstroke. The original post was concerned about 2-beat kick, but whether it's 2-beat or 6-beat, I think the main thing is, when do you initiate the first (accentuated) kick in the cycle? Any reply appreciated! :)
