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.
So I'm assuming that we can still do things the 'old' way if we want to, or do we have to use this new way? My fly kick is very bad, which is one of the reasons I swim ***. I get far more distance from a *** kick than a fly kick, so I'd rather just leave things the way they are.
How do you jump off the bottom? Must be a shallow pool is all I could think. Do you mean instead of pushing off a wall, or between the walls?
I really don't see all that much in this anyway. When I swim 200 *** at state meets there are usually just a few guys in my age group, sometimes just me, especially for LCM. I mean we're doing masters swimming to stay fit and to relieve stress, aren't we?? Certainly not to create more stress.
