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.

Apparently Wookie has a very narrowly-defined sweet spot: longer than 50, shorter than 200.
The 200 fly distinguishes the swimmer from the noodler. It's no wonder Fort wants to "swim" it.
I don't like 50's or the distance events. I don't mind doing the 400/500 every once and awhile but I do prefer 100-200 back/free.
In my previous life as a swimmer...high school and college, I could do the 200 fly pretty well. Don't have that desire or ability anymore.
