Ok, so I laid out of the pool for over 25 years. What I'm seeing now is dolphin kick off the wall seems to be SOP for every stroke. Is that true?
Are there any rules and restrictions about this that a returning swimmer should know about? Anything that'll get you DQed?
Thanks.

Here is a link (with related links inside) on the timing of the dolphin kick in relation to pulldown and first arm stroke of the BR swimming stroke:

The timing of the dolphin may also be addressed in the rules for this stroke.
Happy reading!
Links are 404 now. :-(
With all the back and forth on those threads, I'm more confused now than anything.
So I may better achieve clarity, when is the dolphin kick allowed in the breaststroke glide and when is it illegal?
As for the other strokes, I reckon you can do as you please as long as you don't take it past 15m?
