What can get you DQd when swimming butterfly besides not turning correctly? I can barely swim it but am still working on it and want to try it in an upcoming meet just so I can say I did it. TIA
This is me when thinking about swimming butterfly in a meet! :afraid:
Alternating kick will get you DQed in both USAS and Masters meets. Butterfly arms with breaststroke kick - butterfrog - will get you quickly DQed in USAS, but counts as legal butterfly in Masters meets.
Just remember that while you can do multiple dolphin kicks for every arm stroke, USMS rules only allow ONE breaststroke kick per stroke cycle.
