Simple. You have absolute power to change any technique rules, start/finish rules, age up rules, sky is the limit as long as the rules pertain to swimming. What would you change and why?

1. Revoke the upwards dolphin kick for breaststroke pullouts. Just because a Japanese cheater "won" Olympic gold is no reason to allow such shameful behavior during the most technically demanding of swimming strokes.
2. Award Shirley Babashoff her well-earned Olympic golds from Montreal '76. Disqualify all the East German women, yes even Kornelia Ender. And no, I don't know what to say about Roland Matthes' medals.
3. Erase the current Women's 200 IM record, for similar reasons. Chinese dopers shouldn't be allowed any more than DDR dopers.
4. Properly fund the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
5. Make Duke Kahanamoku's name as well known as those of Mark Spitz and Michael Phelps.
6. Give Dave Denniston back the use of his legs. His textbook stroke and his turns/pullouts videos simply astound me.
