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?

I was surprised to see that the SCM 200 back world record is faster than the SCM 200 fly world record! In all other world records the fly is faster. Clearly we need to allow flip turns in butterfly to right this obvious wrong in the SCM 200 records!
