New swimming rules that have taken effect as of September 2013; i. In breaststroke and butterfly, two-hand touches can no longer be overlapping. The hands must be separated when the wall is touched. ii. In backstroke, FINA took out the wording that a swimmer is allowed to be completely submerged at the finish of a race (though they can still do so at the turn). This means that the big lunges we see, most often in younger age groups, that put the swimmer entirely underwater into the wall are now eliminated. This is important for all coaches to keep an eye on. Margaret Durward Team Spirit Cup Winner selected by the Senior Officials. Awarded to the team with the greatest spirit and volunteerism in the meet! New Year s Invitational Swim Meet 2014 Page 2 of 9
