Kicking a 2 Fly?

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.

  • It's definitely legal as long as you surface by 15 meters off each wall. I remember there was a University of Washington swimmer a few years back who had a shoulder problem so dolphin kicked a 100 back at a dual meet. I don't think she won, but she definitely scored points. I seem to recall she broke one minute, too.
