Backstrokers unite.
We know every detail of the ceilings where we train unless it's the sky which is ever changing.
We SDK every day. It's breath taking.
We go forwards in reverse.
We get to flip over on turns. We gotta stay on our back.
We swim back. We kick back.

What do you backstrokers make of this theory?
Backstroke requires a solid six beat kick on each arm cycle. 2 to the left side... 2 up and down... and 2 to the right side. You can't fake it with a 2 beat or 4 beat pattern or you just might be swimming a tad flat. And that's not really good form.
....maybe that's what the article was pointing to?
All this being said, most backstrokers are usually very good in the kick department.
