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!

While reading this thread I began to wonder if a more reasonable interpretation was that you get one and only one movement that resembles a dolphin kick
Nice point. The rules say 'the swimmer MAY take a single downward dolphin kick'. Doesn't say has to, say it's at the swimmers discretion. Further evidence that FINA really pooched-the-screw.
