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?

Well, Pete, I never tried it with breastroke kick at 200 yards. I learned fly with a dolphin kick. But a girl about 2 years older than me who was a breastroker, use the breastroke kick in butterfly at a novice meet. Anyway,I was surprise that fina just recently outlawed breastroke kick for children and teenagers. I don't remember anyone past the early 1970's in age group swimming using it. And as I stated before, I'm a breastroker, and when I was a kid fly was one second best stroke. Free and Back were my worst strokes. Now, the other three are not that good. And sprint breastroke at 50 yards or 50 meters is my best event.
