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?
This is the "string bean" principle. As a kid, I hated string beans (still do) and when my mom would serve them, I'd shove them in my mouth first and eat them as fast as possible just to get the torture over with quickly and then kill the taste with something better. Same with breaststoke in the rule books.

Very well said, couldn't agree more ... it's the rough draft before the masterpiece ... just like first there was breaststroke, then it gave birth to fly and the big guy upstairs rested for all was right with the world ... \
Add banning open water swimming to my list, too ... blech!!
