FINA Breastroke Question

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?

  • Maybe there would be less dolphin kicking in breaststroke if the 15 meter rule that applies to free/back/fly applied to breaststroke as well. Or make the distance even shorter so, by definition, breaststrokers couldn't add the extra dolphin kicks without going too far. Otherwise, I agree with Lindsay. Let's use the webcams to enforce a clearly written rule that is being violated with impunity.
