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?
Candace,
According to current rules you are not limited to a number of inverted breaststroke pullouts on your backstroke. Billy Jamerson (the age-group swimmer) did 3 complete pullouts (hands past the hips, kick, recover), to the 15 meter mark in his 200 IM.
