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
to further clarify, there is no distinction between accidental and purposeful touching/use of lane line and/or side wall. even if you get discombobulated and end up yanking or pushing off accidentally, it's still a DQ
