Since wanting to start over again, I have questions.
While watching the Olypmics it looked like when they did a flip turn during freestlye they a couple dolphin kicks after pushing off the wall until they reached the surface.
And I think I remember see them do this when they dove in at the start.
I know rules ect.. have change so I thought I would ask.
Plus, if I did see this correctly - why?? It must cut some time or they wouldn't do it.
I have also read, that since my day they have changed the backstroke turn. If I read it correctly, I understand it to be while coming into the wall you can turn over to you stomach, do a flip turn ( like normal) but come out on you back, instead of turning over to your stomach. Do I have this correct??

Dang, you've been gone longer than I. After the freestyle or butterfly start you may do the dolphin kick and remain under water till you reach 15 meters. You may have your head under water in the *** stroke. You may use a frog leg kick in the butterfly stroke, once per arm cycle. You may add a dolphin kick to your frog leg kick in the butterfly stroke. Recently it has been decided that after the turn of the *** stroke you may do one dolphin kick. Look up the rules here: www.usms.org/.../part1.pdf
Hope this helps, there is a lot more information coming your way on this forum. billy fanstone.
