A serious question (I know, how unlikely is that?): I've been on the shelf most of the year since Nov., and I'm really curious as to how the new allowance of the single dolphin kick is being called. Not the official interpretation, but the actual experience of fellow breastrokers in meets, whether Open or Masters, local, zone or nats. At the time we originally discussed the new rule, there was the sentiment that some would push the envelope towards the second half-kick- is this happening, or are some calling it super-tight to avoid that?

Anyone from Nationals (competitors, officials,spectators) have any further observations?
I have just purchased two day passes to watch the PanPacs in Victoria in August; hoping to see wonderful swimming, but also will watch this aspect closely & report back how they're calling it in Open events (yes, the Japanese team will be there, & yes, I will watch a certain someone to see if he's adding a second fly kick).
