[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems hard to DQ for backstroke, no? Which is where OP is coming from[/quote] No / you can’t be vertical towards breast & a lot of the young kids flip over at the end before touching [/quote] Eh, if it's only 25m then no flipping required and if kid just stays on his back until he passes under the flags and feels the wall, then it's fairly "easy" to avoid DQ.[/quote] The PP was saying a lot of kids can't actually stay on their back until they get to the wall, even in a 25. All of this stems from delusional parents thinking their kid who can't really even swim yet has **potential** in one stroke. Focusing solely on that stroke early on **might** get them into a A meet, but it would also thwart their overall development. If you want your kids to be swimmers or anything else for that matter, focus on the big picture, long-term development, not the next A-meet.[/quote]
