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.

two kicks on the left, two center, and two on the right.
The beauty of this pattern is it aids the body rotation because as one is completing the armstroke portion and pushing downward to get into the next pull phase, the hips automatically rotate the body to the other side and, thus, it streamlines the body.
