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.
Fort, I say try it, see what happens. What's the worst that they can do? DQ you? At least you would have a cool video to put in your blog. I think that the experience alone would be worth a shot.
Well, I'd probably speak to the referee before swimming and have the rule with me. But I'm intrigued by the idea. Trying to think of what would be the best/fastest/easiest way of alternating the kicking and swimming ...
If I do this at a USA meet, my usual venue for any 200, my kid would likely be completely mortified. lol Could be a January Open event if the meet starts at a seemly hour. (Yes, us 13 & Overs swim in the mid afternoon. :))
