And he did it AGAIN in the final. I know it's hard to see from the deck but with only a single official per lane one would hope that a clear line of sight from the swimmers feet (witnessing the start of the DK) to the swimmers hands (observe if pull has started) would exist and that it would take less than .5 seconds (over the 1.1 seconds between the start of the kick and the start of the pulling action that I timed).
Or do I just not understand the rule as written?
Sigh. Ditch the DK or don't specify when it can be performed.
i need to watch this... i was told by my coach pull all the way down(like regular breaststroke,) when the hands pass the waist , initiate dolphin kick. as hand finish, slide hands underneath body (recovery) and initiate breaststroke kick
i know i sound confusing myself. let me watch the video
