So, I watched some of the Australia meet events tonight and I have a question concerning breastroke.
I watched in slow-mo about 10 times and I swear the breastrokers are taking two dolphin kicks on the dive entry before the now-legal one big dolphin kick. Is this now legal also, the two small little dolphin kicks?

But, if folks are now getting one legal and some illegal number of dolphin kicks on ***, are we eventually just going to two strokes - free and some version of stroke with a fly kick?
I have to agree with Geek that this is a danger. For the sake of faster times, the purity of each stroke is being compromised with SDK's.
I think underwater cameras and a 3rd start judge viewing...if the swimmers know that there is an eye in the pool...they'll cut out the risk of a DQ themselves.
