For those not sure about the rules, this is a very nice little site that has video and a breakdown of the rules.

i guess i inherit my harsh views from my mother, who would DQ her own children without batting an eyelid (she DQ'd me twice in the same 200 fly once when i was 13)
My mom did the same to me, in the same event. She reminded me about it on the way home from the meet, a 3 hour trip.
If the call is questionable, I will give the benefit to the swimmer(regardless of age) but inform the coaching staff. If the swimmer has a clear rule infraction, regardless of age, they should be disqualified.
