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.
Why would you want to do this?
I'm guessing split request. Race the first 50 or 100, then noodle the rest (within the rules). For what it's worth, taking extra kicks per stroke is how some people have described completing swims such as 1500/1650 fly. When I did a 500 fly to join the Butternuts, I probably should have done that, but I didn't, so for the last 200 of the 500, I was hanging on each turn for a few seconds, trying to get my pulse rate under control.
