[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it illegal-but-allowed - or illegal-but-not-detected? Genuine question. I thought some swimmers were putting some downward dolphin kick action into their last breast kick before surfacing, which is not legal. Is that what we’re talking about?[/quote] Yes that's what we're talking about. It's illegal but I'm calling it "allowed" because it's challenging to detect, so it happens without consequence.[/quote] Stokes and techniques have evolved over the years - fairly (?) recently the submerged backstroke finish. Maybe just make it legal to do a downward dolphin kick motion on the last breaststroke kick before finishing the pullout. Then everyone can do it. Or is it happening more often than only the last breastroke kick in pullout? Are swimmers adding that dolphin kick motion all the way down the lane? That would be a pretty substantial change to make to breast. [/quote]
