The hands must have separated before the dolphin kick is initiated. Pausing the hands after the initial separation IS allowed.
The westie leftie is right:
BREASTSTROKE INTERPRETATION
SW 7.1 After the start and after each turn, the swimmer may take one arm stroke completely back to the
legs during which the swimmer may be submerged. A single butterfly kick is permitted during the first
arm stroke, followed by a breaststroke kick.
Interpretation
The first arm stroke begins with the separation of the hands.
SW 7.2 From the beginning of the first arm stroke after the start and after each turn, the body shall be on
the ***. It is not permitted to roll onto the back at any time. From the start and throughout the race
the stroke cycle must be one arm stroke and one leg kick in that order. All movements of the arms shall
be simultaneous and on the same horizontal plane without alternating movement.
Interpretation
A pause after the separation of the hands is not a violation of the rule.
