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?

I also saw at Nationals a fellow doing double arm with a dolphin kick. It looked very much like butterfly on his back and he was very, very efficient and fast.
Perhaps the age grouper just plain could not backstroke so adding a bit of breaststroke allowed him to drop to that time. 1:51 is awfully good, top ranked.
