In another thread I read that an unnamed USS coach was teaching using 2 dolphin kicks in breaststroke pullout,sneaking the first one in after the dive (like Kitajima did.) I had previously heard coaches teaching dolphin kick on the pullout before it was legal saying "I'll keep teaching it until they DQ it." What do you all think of this? I think the refs should watch for this and DQ the swimmers of course,but I think the coach should be flogged I don't care how many Olympians the might have trained.

I heard once that rules are meant to be broken.
In breaststroke I don't think the rules were broken by the over the water recovery. When butterfly was first used they followed the rules of breaststroke.
I have watched the film from the 2004 Olmpics and I am still not sure whether his kick could have been called illegal. Maybe his feet were forced up by the second wave the water filling in the void left by his body.
