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.

Backstroke requires a steady kick which flutters from side to side.
It's not a 2 beat or 4 beat. It's more like an ongoing 6 or 8 beat
The key to good backstroke is torso rotation, and a steady flutter kick.
The water should appear to boiling, but the feet stay just under the surface.
