If you accidentally touched the lane line during a race, does that disqualify you? ies"]
If not, how can you tell "accidentally" touching from touching more, e.g. pushing the lane line? It helps to push the lane line, doesn't it?
Once during my lap my hand and the hand of another swimmer in opposite direction accidentally pushed each other, giving both of us a solid propulsion :D
I'm pretty sure its up to the ref's (judge's?) best judgment. You can USUALLY tell when someone is just accidentally bumping the lane lines, as opposed to using them to get ahead.
