Restated - breaststroke kick rule

Now that a single dolphin kick (DK) is allowed, the rule says the swimmers hands must be in motion before the swimmer can do her single dolphin kick. Motion is defined as a separation of her hands. So a swimmer streamling in locked position can shift to an unlocked streamline. Your hands can be just a bit apart and it is legal to do your dolphin kick. Superman streamline implies shoulder width, which is too wide. I suggest a little separation, enough so it is visible to judges but not too much. Maybe 2, 3 or 4 inches apart. Swimmers can DK before, during or after their pulldowns. Before allows the swimmer to DK while still streamlined which many feel is faster. The sequence is: 1) Push off & glide in a locked streamline, 2) unlock your streamline by separating your hands a few inches then pause 3) DK & glide some then 4) begin your pull down Learn how to do an optimal unlocked streamline
