Here's the RULES
Swimming Rules
How do cheaters cheat?
Got any stories?
Did they get caught or get away with it?
If you see someone cheating or know they are
do you point it out to the ref or keep quiet?
3. Take a half-stroke cycle (possible DQ depending on how it's done)
Unless it means taking two pulls in a row or two kicks in a row it shouldn't be a DQ. You don't need to take a full stroke cycle at the turns and finish in breaststroke. A pull without a kick is OK.
101.2.4 Turns and Finish—At each turn and at the finish of the race, the touch
shall be made with both hands simultaneously at, above or below the water
level. The head may be submerged after the last arm pull prior to the touch,
provided it breaks the surface of the water at some point during the last
complete or incomplete cycle preceding the touch.
