I was reading the rules for strokes. I read about the fly kick. It sort of confused me. I'm not sure I completely understand what it is saying? While doing the fly, i s it possible to do a whip or *** kick? Although it would probably be slower for me to do this rahter than the regular fly kick, is it okay to do the other KICKS? Can you do two of them per stroke? I woudl think that some *** strokers could really get power form their legs.
I always thought that the *** kick gave most of the energy to the *** stroke. I think the rule is 101.3.3(?).
Also, I think htat it is interesting that more pages are dedicated ot competition & officials than are dedicated to describing the strokes.

Only one breaststroke or whip kick is permitted per arm pull, except that a single breaststroke or whip kick is permitted prior to the turn and the finish without an arm pull. After the start and after each turn, a single breaststroke or whip kick is permitted prior to the first arm pull.
If this is what had always been intended, then I agree that the previous wording was confusing!
