Found this video on youtube while researching breaststroke drills:
YouTube- Swimming - Breaststroke - Underwater Pull, Power Phase
For those not able to see the video, the gist is: The dolphin kick can start with any parallel or downward motion of the hands (per the video).
Does this rule interpretation apply to USMS? Hopefully someone with authoritative knowledge can give their .02... As I am setting up my drill/practice routines I'd like to do it the right way : ).
Thanks :bow: to any or all guru's who reply!

Did anyone see Gangloff's start on Sunday in the 4 X 100 medley relay? I watched it a few times in slow mo. I could not see any movement of his hands prior to his downward dolphin kick. The camera was to the side however. I have to think it was totally legal given a swimmer of his calibre but I still scratched my head.
wolf - what's your take on that?
