I've looked on the Fina site but I'm not sure I found the correct answer so I'll ask the resident experts. Do Fina Masters rules allow for "butterfrog?" What about breaststroke kick for backstroke?
In back stroke any stroke is legal as long as you are on your back. Since my back stroke is my slowest stroke and I can swim BR faster than I can swim SDK(sad isn't it) I swim BR on my back underwater off the turns.In a 100 IM or a 50 BK I try to get the full 15M underwater to minimize the time spent actually swimming BK.
I was just wondering if this was legal!! I can get much MORE out of my underwaters doing this!! Maybe, I'll try it in a meet!! Just don't want to get DQ'd
