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?

Butterfly with a breaststroke kick, interesting concept but to me seems it would be a bit awkward. As a flier, it seems trying to integrate the *** stroke kick would throw off all the rythm and timing of the stroke. The butterfly is a beautiful stroke, and the fly kick is not really a kick but just the natural movement of the legs from the torso. Doing the *** stroke kick with fly would seem to me exerting much more energy and effort than needed.
