It is almost a humiliation that I ask this question. Can someone post the USA Swimming link or adequately describe the legal butterfly. I have a brewing situation with 3 fly kicks to 1 fly pull. It sure looks odd but I don't know if it is technically legal.
I actually use this "legal fly" trick to get my swimmers to swim more fly than they think possible in practice sessions.
Dolphin kick and take a full butterfly stroke
only when you need a breath!
Yes, it is perfectly legal.
I can say that I have personally used this legal fly technique.
#1 - Boldly planned when I swam a 200 fly at the Rose Bowl Meet last SC season.
#2 - In an effort to "float the fly" at the end of the 1st leg of a 400IM - (actually have done this several times!)
I like this! I was kind of thinking the same thing today when I did a 100 fly.
