    For FINA and Masters in fly and breaststroke you do not have to touch on the same plane. You have to touch both hands simultaneously at above or below the waters surface. Nothing is said about touching at the same level. Then when you push off your shoulders at at or past the verticle towards the breastwhen the swimmer leaves the wall. The way I teach fly and *** turns is to touch simultaneously, but one hand lower than the other. This allows a quicker turn:D
