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 saw it happen in Atlanta. The guy hit the lane line, the offical's arm came up. I don't know for sure if the swimmer was DQ'd or if it was for that reason, but it sure looked like it.
