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?

Those inhabitants probably had to develop that stroke in a hurry to dodge the land-clearing bullets employed by settlers.
Smeagol knows that breastroke is best for catching those t-a-a-s-s-s-t-y
f-i-i-s-s-s-h-e-s, butterflyers starve in the wild.
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!!
Here she goes again...change your handle to "Drama Queen" for all the emotion stirring. You keep on baiting me...you won't be happy when I take up fly and thrash you at it will you?.. stop your taunting! :thhbbb:
(j/k Heather; apart from seriously considering learning fly just to make you eat crow :rofl: )
"...Having turned their eyes from God (tm), he cast them out of the lakes and rivers and ocean , declaring: 'I take from you all knowledge of freestyle crawl. Henceforth, thou shalt swim like frogs in troughs of concrete.' And in His (tm) wrath, he gave them rules to the breaststroke designed to confuse and disunite them, thus sundering the brotherhood/sisterhood of all the worlds people. Chaos reigned and all was darkness (with a few exceptions like the invention of ice cream)." (Appendectomy 2:4:6:8)

This is one of my most favorites posts EVER! Fantastic, especially the part about ice cream ...
Peter - the flyers would simply swim their beautious sdk under the water and fish would come to them ...
Leonard,I found that funny,but 1) you say that like there is something wrong with frogs. Remember"Be like unto the frog for its propulsion is a delight" Amphibians 5:1-2
If I were dictator, no local swim meet would start before 1:00 pm. Since Nationals is so long, I'd grudgingly agree to a 10:00 am start. :coffee:

I'm even happier now. Signature-wise, I mean. :rofl:
