Is it legal to keep your hands in a streamline position and just dolphin kick for a 200 fly (as long as you're not underwater more than 15 meters)? Or swim it by 50s alternating fly and kicking? Just wondering ... I think it is based on something the Wolfman said, but would like confirmation.
Don't bother to say swim the whole thing. I can't/won't/don't want to/aren't interested. I have a power fly stroke not suited for a 200 and can't keep the arms recovering for 200 yards/meters.
If the arms must be recovered together above the water, does that mean you have to take one pull? I think the rules specify that the arms must move back together too.
So I could dive in, kick 15m underwater, surface, take one pull making sure it's legal, and kick to the wall in a streamline?
The more kicking, the better, Bill! Though I can see alternating 50 fly and 50 kick.
I think I'd have to alert the S&T judge or ref before I did this to prevent a DQ.
