What are the typical reasons a swimmer would be disqualified?
Here are the answers from USA Swimming's website:
Freestyle: Walking on the bottom, pulling on the lane rope, not touching the wall on a turn, or not completing the distance.
Backstroke: Pulling or kicking into the wall once a swimmer has turned passed the vertical onto the breast.
Turning onto the breast before touching the wall with the hand at the finish of the race.
Breaststroke: An illegal kick such as flutter (freestyle), dolphin (butterfly)*, or scissors (side stroke); not on the breast; alternating movements of the arms;
taking two arm strokes or two leg kicks while the head is under water; touching with only one hand at the turns or finish.
Butterfly:Alternating movements of the arms or legs; pushing the arms forward under instead of over the water surface (underwater recovery);
a breaststroke style of kick; touching with only one hand at the turns or finish.
*The revised USA Swimming rules for 2006 allow one dolphin-kick after a turn on breaststroke. Click Here for specifics.
