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.
Matt,
thank you for the history, i wasn't aware of it. i do the dolphin kick in practice whenever breastroke comes up. my knee cant tolerate the traditional kick. and speaking of traditionionalists, will they be dying off soon? can we plot their demise? im a newbie, but you're a regular here. they'd never suspect me. ill get the broomstick. a quick shot to the jewels will stop all poetry. :)
