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?

I swam back in the 50s when fly had the frog kick. This always seemed real awkward to me, and I never did much fly.
For a long time my fly with dolphin kick was quite exhausting - I seemed to sink every time I breathed, which is a real bummer. I could get by with double breathing for a 50, but this didn't work for anything longer.
A few years ago I finally got a coach who changed the timing of my kick in the fly, got me to do a proper arm pull, and gave me some drills so I could feel the undulation. It has begun to all come together, and I actually like to do fly with the dolphin kick - it just seems to flow when you get that undulation going.
