I will start with breastroke- Gary Marshall(25-29) 1:02 high in the hundred 2:16 in the 200, David Guthrie(45-49) 1:07 in the 100 2:27 in the 200 Robert
Strand(60-64) 33.41 50 *** 1:15 100 ***. Between them 6 world records Marshall 1, Guthrie 2 and Strand 3. There are plenty more so add to the thread!!!!!
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.
Except that that defination is wrong. It is any part of the arm, which is defined as from slightly below the shoulder to the wrist.
