Pure art.

Meanwhile the fastest breast roller on my team goes 26.2 on a relay exchange

[@reidaikman3134]

Breast roller bruh

[@AK-fz9up]

There are a couple of quirks in the rules for breaststroke.
- Any time prior to the first breaststroke kick, a butterfly kick is permitted
- On the first stroke, while submerged, you may pull all the way back
- On the final stroke, your elbows may break the surface
This allows the use of a single butterfly arm stroke + a butterfly kick, as long you only take one stroke.
I am curious if it is possible to complete a 25 doing a butterfly-breaststroke.

[@chunzman]

Arms can’t go past hipline on that final stroke so it would not be a full butterfly stroke

[@AK-fz9up]

@@chunzman The rule says the "hands shall not be brought back beyond the hip line, except during the first stroke". If you only take one stroke, the 'first' stroke is also the 'last' stroke. This allows the hands to be brought past the hip line, and allows the elbows to break the surface. No pullout, just one butterfly arm stroke and one butterfly kick.

[@olexy.skrypnik]

@@AK-fz9up So they could do - gliding, one dolphin, one fly pull without body dolphin, then body dolphin on recovery on both 25 and it would've technically counted as backstroke? :)

[@HarryKang-co5xi]

@@AK-fz9up the rules are talking about the first stroke that is part of the breaststroke pullout. IT says that you are submerged while doing it. Not sure how you can do a fly stroke while underwater.

BBC One sent me here. What a star 🔥

[@xGatorchomp28x]

Very cool! May try this at practice some day!!! 😄

[@penguin22]

He already did this at a PAC-12s. Cheeky hand pay

[@Hilltopperpete]

This is a 1-stroke 50! Zero the first 25.

[@markthoughtswithukrainemas2072]

I did it in PAC-14s

[@h_azem.]

He makes a 25 short course pool look like a kiddie pool its insane.

It's yards tho

I think it’s so dumb to have American pools 25yd and then everywhere else it’s 50m… makes underwater swimming so much more important

[@frankie5510]

A world record in the only country that has yards

[@AC-ld4np]

hahaha! Right? Training yards and racing in Metres sucks. I trained in a Yds pool at the Cdn Uni I went to.. . they finally built a proper 50m pool the year after I left.

It’s not a real world record 💀
