    I was talking with a high school judge. He said tha tnot touching the wall with both hands at the same time on the same plain is the most common mistake in competitive swimming. I think that is interesting. He said that is how most DQ's come about at meets. I think that he is probably right. I've noticed it when watching high school meeets and am always surprised how often it doesn't get called. It is very easy to see of all of the generally well known mistakes. Also, about Aaron. It is after the stroke is complete. Both of his hands are at his side frequently and his body is still. It seems then that he hesitates before he tucks his head and flips. I was once told to never have my hands both at my hips when i begin to flip because a judge will always call it. I've always thought that this was a DQ.
