Regarding the back to *** turn in the IM, is it legal to grab the wall or top of the gutter when turning? I find that grabbing the wall helps in pulling the legs into the wall in preparation for pushing off. I read the rules on the backstroke and IM and did not see anything prohibiting this, but want to make sure before developing a habit. Also, any advice on a better way of making the turn is welcomed.

Thanks for the info TG.
Cause really that is the core of the problem with this turn. You're no longer on your back when you touch the wall, but rather on your side. Almost perpendicular to the surface.
So it's legal I know, but easy to get dqed and filing a protest, well, that ain't cool.
