696493 2008-08-11 10:47:00 For freestyle, you jump off the board and dive under (in) the water and your two ankles are locked together and move like a mermaid?

Thanks.

696494 2008-08-11 10:59:00 Well its either butterfly, or breaststroke. Its not backstroke

Probably breaststroke

696495 2008-08-11 11:03:00 Nah .. I meant that thing when they lock their ankles up after they dive into the water and they swim like that before their head pops up for the first time. They tend to do that in freestyle. Just wanna know what that exact technique is called. Nomad (952)
696496 2008-08-11 11:06:00 Like when they swim like the man from alantis?

696502 2008-08-11 19:37:00 Yes that is the dolphin kick from butterfly but apparently they now can use it at the start of the freestyle too, another rule change to help the Americans set new records gary67 (56)
