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?
Thoseof us in the + 55 age groups probably learned the fly with the frog kick before changing over to the dolphin kick. As we get older. it gets tougher to compete a 200 fly entirely with dolphin kick, pull ourselves out of the pool after our leg of an relay, or even start from the blocks due to many factors. Please do not change the butterfly rule. I want to be able to swim fly when I reach the older age groups!
