I know for masters you can do the frog kick with fly, but can you change from dolphin kick to frog kick in the middle of a 200? Haha. Just worrying that I might not be able to finish it.. What is the usms rule? Does anyone know?

I believe you can take all the dolphin kicks you want ALONG WITH 1 *** stroke kick per cycle (arm-leg)
eg, dolphin kick the whole length of the pool....as long as you touch with both hands at the wall, and that assumes you did the initial pull back followed by a recovery to get your hands forward. (if you dive in, arms forward, never pull back...conceivably you could dolphin kick all the way to the other wall with no arm pull whatsoever)...swimmer is permitted to do arm pulls, but not required by rule!
