SW 7 BREASTSTROKE
SW 7.4 During each complete cycle, some part of the swimmer's head shall break the surface of the water. ...
When they say "cycle" do they mean for the whole lap or one pull, kick and breath? Does the swimmer's head have to break the surface of the water? I thought that was out......
They mean one stroke cycle. All the strokes (including freestyle) rule out underwater swimming, with various exceptions for starts, turns, and finishes.
