It isn't a new rule, it is just a "reinterpretation" of an existing rule! Got it.
(They just keep trying to make breaststroke faster...shades of Pinocchio, maybe it will be a real stroke someday...)
Yeah, they opened pandora's box when they allowed the dolphin kick in the first place, and now they're making it worse...
So basically, we can go from arms in tight pencil streamline to arms in superman superman and do the dolphin kick while still in a "streamline" position. That movement of the hands from pencil position to superman qualifies as the lateral movement. I hope Brendan Hansen gets himself on a rules committee at some point in the (near) future and restores his stroke to normalcy.
