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?

Have you ever tried the Butterfly with the Breaststroke kick? Believe me, it may sound awkward. But as a 200m flier, I find using the breaststroke kick is the answer for me. I was never taught swimming as a child, however could swim. So when it came to the fly kick. I did try it but with dismal results. I am faster over the 200 fly by 20 seconds when using the breaststroke kick. I'm not saying it's ideal for the 50m sprint though as it is difficult to do an all out sprint using the breaststroke kick. Try it, you may be surprised. Good luck.:p
