I'm a new Master's swimmer. I workout on my own for now, and plan to enter a few SCY meets in 2007. Presently, I'm 45 (yep one of those 45-49 in that age group bubble, unfortunately) and will swim some 50 and 100 yard breaststroke, and maybe 50 yard freestyle to get a meet time and have a few chuckles. I've read through the forum (not the entire forum) and haven't stumbled across this topic yet. Ok, my question is regarding the USMS Rule 101.2.3 Kick (Breaststroke) it states, "After the start and after each turn a single downward butterfly (dolphin) kick followed by a breaststroke kick is permitted while wholly submerged,....."
What is this dolphin kick off the start and turn, who does it, how should you incorporate it properly not to DQ?
