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?

Now that Kitijama was allowed to cheat on the underwater pulldown, and by the way beat the american swimmer, then it is obvious that they would allow the rule to be changed.
Kitijama's kick would still be illegal if the new rule would be
accepted. *** stroke has changed so much!
What about the rule to have an underwater camera that woudl have a judge looking at what was going on under the surface. That would definitely have a complete change on how & when swimmers woudl be disqualified. I'm not sure it woudl make it any more clear. When I watch videos of races at the turns, so many bubbles are created, I really can't see too much!
Sometimes, I wonder if all of the rule changes are really that effective. Has anyone ever seen many peole do any kind of a flip turn in the *** stroke?
