I saw this for the first time at SC Nationals last month. My daughter (an age group swimmer) scoffs at this.
I haven't researched the rules yet, but am assuming this is legal. Wondering what the advantage of it is?
The swimmers were not slow, by any means, but (when I tried it) it seems to add more stress to the shoulders - akin to butterfly on the back. Comments?

Never saw it in a meet. I do these before most backstroke sets/workotus. It does help to stretch out my shoulders during a warmup for back.
