With the ability to do a dolphin kick now along with the pulldown, what is the proper timing. I have been out of swimming for a while, and when I competed, we couldn't use the dolphin kick at all.
Here's a slo-mo underwater 9-second video of Kitajima in the BR turn. The video stops before the pullout, so doesn't address the question, but I found it instructive:

Athens 2004 Olympics Women's 200m BR final: very clear underwater image of swimmers doing the pullout recovery (after initial dive) with palms-to-body technique described by Paul. The first turn also has an underwater view, but only one swimmer is doing the pullout in camera range; it's still clear. I didn't watch further (Amanda Beard and Leisel Jones are swimming):

I'll look for a few more tonight.
I slow because I am too deep when it's time to start stroking for real.
