Preparing for the Short Course season...Part 2

As we march toward the beginning of the Short Course season, it's a good idea to refresh our understanding of the technical rules of swimming promulgated by USA Swimming. Since most of us have been off deck for over a month (with nearly another month to go), it's easy to get rusty.

Last week, we reviewed the butterfly stroke. Today, let's move on to breaststroke. There's a lot to be aware of in the breaststroke. For many, the breaststroke is the most difficult of the strokes to officiate. I hope you find this video informative. 

Remember, too, that in January 2014, USAS Rules & Regulations Committee provided a revised interpretation of the breaststroke and butterfly separated hands requirement. You can find that interpretation by clicking here.

So, without further delay...
