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?
Just curious.
IMHO, it would not be faster than someone swimming it, as they are not only kicking but pulling also.
I will admit I kick as much of a 200 fly underwater in a streamline, but I would never kick on the surface; too slow. Kicking 10m is not faster than swimming 10m per lap.
:2cents:
As I get older, I apparently contemplate odd things to amuse myself.
I know kicking the whole thing would be slower. But I can't see swimming 8 lengths of fly. 4 is hard enough. I like Geek's idea of kicking UW + one stroke and kick to the wall.
Chaos, I would definitely enter monofin competitions if there were any to be had. In this country.
