I was reading the rules and need to know what type of kick you can use of the start and the turns. The rules are not that clear.
btw, i swam my first meet in 13 years on Sunday. had serious case of the buterflies but all that left when I was on the block of my first race. did better than I expected.

When I went to a swim camp a lotta years ago. Misty Hyman was just starting out that dolphin kick on her side (what pretty much made her famous). We were watching her do it I told myself I would try that in my next meet. It's totally awesome. Till they put that ban on it (the same in backstroke) where you could only go so far down the pool before you had to come up. That is the fastest kick I've ever had. Even faster than my flutter kick. Might play around with that one. Just takes a lot of lung capacity. It's fun too cause you can see all these people behind you doing the whole stroke and it's just funny.
Kelli,
