Back a few months, there were energetic discussions about doing away with the use of breastroke kick during butterfly swimming. At that time, I recall that FINA postponed the decision for Masters until after the Worlds. Has anyone heard anything?
Greg:
As I wrote in a previous post the competitors get to decide the technical rules of the strokes. 2002 is a Rules year. To get the rule changed, go to your LMSC and have propose the change in the butterfly kick rule.
If the rule is voted to be submitted by your LMSC it will be sent to all the convention delegates and will go to the Rules Committee of the House of Delegates. If the Rules Committee votes for your change, it will be sent to the House of Delegates, where a 50% + one vote will change the rule. (If the rule gets turned down by the Rules Committee, the House of Delegates can overturn the Rules Committee but it will take a 2/3 vote).
The first step is for YOU TO CONTACT YOUR LMSC ABOUT CHANGING THE RULE. It is not that hard. I probably have had about a dozen of my ideas that have made the Rule Book.
