Change the last sentenceof 101.3.2__Stroke to read " Both arms shall be brought forward in an overarm manner and pulled back simultaneously". .
Change the second sentence of 101.3.3__Kick to read, "A scissors kicking movement is never permitted in the Butterfly Stroke".
Since these two proposed changes are being proposed only because of the widely differing interpretation encountered in the last couple of years, they can be incorporated without further ado other than the agreement of the rules committees before the meet, whether it be tomorrow, next month, or next year.
George, you are correct with the dates of the change. Michael, I did not know about Paul Wolf being credited with the change. I have read many different stories about who takes credit for inventing the butterfly stroke. Names like Jack Sieg, Henry Myers and Eric Rademacher have been mentioned and now Paul Wolf will have to be added to these three. I am going to provide a link to the discussions we had about this a while ago.
