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?
I think we should remove the breaststroke kick from both the fly and back stroke in masters swimming. It was supposed to be that "older" masters swimmers couldn't do the fly kick because they never learned it while they were young. My era was the last to do it, I know because I missed the world record by 2 tenths doing the brst kick.........and then they changed the rules.
Many younger breaststrokers do the fly with the breaststroke kick in masters, because they are better at it. Why should be allow a swimmer to do the brst kick in the fly, then in the back, then in the brst.......he's swimming 3/4 of the race breaststroke.
