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.

I bet it 's going shave at least somewhere around a second off the walls. It won't be long until we see times in the :55 second range for 100 short course meters. (I think the scm record is mid :57 at the moment.)
