I just posted,slightly tongue in cheek,that changing the breaststroke rule so ones head can go underwater was the best change ever.It got me thinking what was the best rule change.(someone else can do a worst change poll.)
Art, this is the BEST Rule Change Ever thread. As Allen mentioned “someone else can do a worst change”
Best –
Freestyle – allowing any part of the body to touch the wall, enabling flip turns
Breaststroke – allowing over water recovery thus creating the butterfly and subsequently making butterfly its own stroke
15 Meter rule – saving any number of swimmers brain damage due to hypoxia
Costume rules that allowed goggles
USMS Beer relay rules
