The dolphin kick will be allowed in breaststroke races soon. This will make Japan happy, as will it make a certain university in California vindicated that all of its breaststrokers have been doing that kick for at least 15 years.

Personally, I don't want to do it. But of course I'll have to if I want to win against those who have total freedom to do it.
This is the worst rule change ever.

good point Ande, when does it go into effect...this weekend? If so I hope Brendan is in the pool now working on it! I remember folks being upset about the "new" backstoke turn as opposed to the old sit spin, and frankly I'm glad the underwater dolphin kicking was defined to 15 m.
