AAA is proud of our coaches.  They give up their weeknights and weekends to teach, guide, push, and cheer on our swimmers!  Here's a brief introduction to our coaching staff.

 Breaststroke Rule Change

Rule 101.1 Breaststroke
Kick - After the start and each turn, a single downward butterfly kick followed by a breaststroke kick is
permitted while wholly submerged. Following which, all movements of the legs shall be simultaneously
and in the same horizontal plane without alternating movement.  

Rule Interpretation -
The official interpretation for the changes to the breaststroke is that during, or at the end of the arm pull-down
of the first stroke after the start and after each turn, a single downward butterfly kick is allowed, but not required,  followed by a breaststroke kick. During the pull-down, if a downward butterfly kick is taken, it must be followed
by a breaststroke kick. It is not permissible to take only a downward butterfly kick without then taking a normal breaststroke kick. The downward butterfly kick is not permissible prior to the arm pull-down. In addition, there
is now a requirement for all movements of the legs to be “in the same horizontal plane and without alternating movement”.
