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!

(at Nationals a couple weeks ago, most such calls were overturned upon keen video inspection....raising in my mind a quandary....swimmers may get DQed at regular meets because they are not 'saved' by the video replay)
It was my understanding that video of a swim cannot be used in settling DQ issues. If would not be fair to do so unless you have a every lane covered, else a person who had a camera on them could be DQed or have their DQ overturned while another swimmer who performed the exact same thing would not be DQed or have their DQ overturned.
