Fina Masters Rules

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?

  • You mean an underwater pull and BR kick before surfacing, or do you go further and actually swim BR upside down for a couple more strokes? S In a 100 IM on the backstroke leg I do a regular pulldown followed by 5 BR regular strokes underwater on my back before surfacing. If it is faster for you, you could do 2-3 pulldowns instead. I might be faster just swimming BR regular strokes underwater on my back,but since I know my BR is faster than my BK and I do a lot more BR than BK in workouts I figure I should do what I am used to in a a race,except on my back.Given my BK and my BR, if you give me the chance to swim 15M of 25 yd BK as BR I am going to take it.
