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??

"The rule talks about a double arm pull on the *** while turning. "
Without looking it up to get the full context - that rule just means that you can't take two arm pulls (cycles) without a kick / coming to the surface, right ? Not that you can't pull both arms at the same time (simultaneous motion)
A lot of people will confuse illegal stroke technique with innovative, bizarre or just plain slow stroke technique. :)
