I just got my new Swimming World and it said that FINA was looking at allowing a dolphin kick in the breaststroke pullout. Does anyone know the status of this?

Michael,Thanks! Wayne,Kitajima didn't even wait for the pull down to cheat! Not having an especially good dolphin kick I hope they don't change the rule. Why not put it in line with the other strokes and say you just have to break the surface by 15 meters and can take as many strokes as you can before that. Do you really think he won the race becuse he did a little dolphin kick? I think he won because he swam faster.
