Isn’t the dolphin kick tweet confusing since it is illegal to push off on back on free?
It’s only illegal on the last leg of an IM or a medley relay.
It is confusing because what Braden says. There are different rules depending on whether you’re swimming a freestyle event, which is literally “free style” and you can do almost stroke technique you want, and a freestyle leg, in which you have to swim the specific stroke we commonly call “freestyle.” In “free style,” you can kick out on your back. In “freestyle,” you can’t. Kinda dumb. Kinda logical. Definitely confusing.
“freestyle” = front crawl
