  • Granted I didn't see the exact moment of the DQ, but I watched a lot of his swim and he looked to me to be really close to not getting his wrists out of the water.In butterfly “Both arms must be brought forward over the water and pulled back simultaneously.” Brought forward over the water has for many years been interpreted as the elbows need to recover over the water. Doug has been disqualified for this same infraction at nationals for years. The problem is that at many local meets, the stroke judges don’t make the call; which can lead to confusion.
