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?

No, the easiest way would be to go back to the old rule which said you must always remain on your back throughout the turn. Allowing the flip onto the front for the turn is what opened this can of worms in the first place.
I don't know that this would be easier. The trouble is that, for most FINA/USA/NCAA swimmers today, it would not be going back, but going to a brand new rule.
