Breaststrokers ---- make sure you understand the LATEST ruling on the pull-fly kick- br kick rule that has just been restated.
It says that you may use the fly kick AFTER the hands move apart & before the BR kick, on starts & turns, is the way I understand it.
I think that if you separate your hands and then bring them back together ,that could be seen as a completed pull,so the regular pulldown would be your second consecutive pull and you would be DQd.
I would hope so! All of this nitpicky stuff would be moot if they'd just had the stones to DQ Kitundulate the first time! I swam the stroke for 50 years without a hint of "natural" undulation on the pullout. We were just trained that way. Your lower body was still and dragged along by the pullout.
I have moved into the new era, after some trial and error. Personally, I find that the dolphin in conjunction with the pullout works better for me. That may be partially due to the fact that my SDK is pretty pitiful at the moment.
