Stroke Rules

Swimming already has enough rules as is but there's even more when it comes down to the technique of your strokes and how they look. Each stroke is different therefore they all have different rules however butterfly and breaststroke share one rule. When your coming into the wall to make a turn or finish the race to MUST touch the wall with both hands at the same time or else you are disqualified. During breaststroke while kicking you need to have both your feet facing outwards kind of like a Y and in butterfly both your arms have to   In freestyle when you are doing a flip turn and push off the wall staying in streamline on your back for to long, it will result in disqualification. Backstroke has a similar rule except it's for when you stay on your stomach to long you'll be disqualified. Also if you streamline past a certain point of the pool when doing backstroke it means yet another automatic DQ. What makes it difficult is that you may being doing something wrong and won't even know it until the end of the race when it's to late. Although there are several things that you could do wrong while swimming, checking with you coaches can help prevent any disqualifications.
