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.)

The one-handed touch/turn in breaststroke...oh wait...it's coming soon. It started with uneven shoulders being legal and, well, there's just no good reason for a two-handed touch. :p
Or we could go Kristina's idea and do flip turns on BR, too. Talk about a lung-buster: 200 yard *** with seven flip turns and pullouts:drown:
Amen Glider!! Either 1 handed turns on BR/ FLY or the flip turns. I swam with some guys at Swim Atlanta where we were all REALLY competitive in practice and we all were doing flip turns on the fly and ***. It was terribly fun for me at least b/c being younger I could hold my breath better. 'Course it's a terrible habit to get into and increases your chances of DQing in a meet. But darn, it makes for a furiously fast IM set.
