Was going to swim the 200 fly at the Rowdy Gaines meet, but meet canceled due to Hurricane Matthew.
So there's a local swim meet this weekend, they offer the 200 free but not the 200 fly.
Can I swim fly in the freestyle event, and have the time submitted for a butterfly Top 10 consideration?
Unfortunately no.
103.18.2 An official time for an event or stroke can be achieved only in that event or stroke, or in an initial distance of such event or stroke (e.g., backstroke time must be achieved in a backstroke event or a butterfly time can be achieved in an individual medley event). Regardless of the stroke(s) used, times achieved in freestyle events can be recorded only as freestyle times.
Next month's St. Nick's meet in Atlanta will be offering the 200 fly, if you're up for a road trip.
