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!!!!!
From the USA Rulebook: "Both arms must be brought forward over
the water and pulled back simultaneously".
Of course, in all things, you must read the rule and enforce what the rule states. Note: it does not specify what portion of the arm must be above the water. Nor does it say exactly how far above the water it must be. So the only way to interpret this rule, AS WRITTEN, is that if any portion of each arm breaks the surface of the water, then it is a legal recovery.
That would imply that you could do breaststroke during a butterfly race, if you had the over-the-water lunge. (The master's legacy rule takes care of the kicking.)
