The way to learn these rules is to get a DQ. Then you will remember forever. Always ask your coach why you were DQ'd. It's a good video, but trying to cram 28 abstract things into your head is going to make you distracted and feeling overwhelmed when you step up to the blocks. Obviously that is not what the author intended, but there is no substitute for experience. This year with reduced officials behind the blocks, I am seeing many ticky-tacky things that are covered in this video not being called. So that can be a problem when the young swimmers come back next year and get the DQ and say, but I always [turn/touch/start] this way.

I'm a stroke and turn official. While it is interesting to see the things that cause a DQ, it is also interesting to see the many strange techniques that are still within the rules. For example, you may kick multiple times per stroke in the fly. In fact, you don't even have to use your arms at all if you don't want to. Same in backstroke. You can grab the lane line and hold onto it. As long as you don't use it to pull yourself forward, this is fine. You can start any stroke in the water if you prefer. You are required to have one hand on the wall or platform if you do this.

29. The Lochte Rule
In the freestyle leg of the Individual Medley and the Medley Relay, the swimmer may not make any propulsive motion (stroke or kick) while the shoulders are past vertical toward the back. Also, don't trash a gas station in Rio and lie about it.

#5 is only a DQ if you interfere with the swimmer in that lane. If you do not, or if there is no swimmer in that lane, then you will NOT be disqualified provided that you return to your original lane before completing the race.

I am working on building competitive stroke technique as a non competitive swimmer, so I appreciate the information you share. Also, you have a great voice. Thanks for doing what you do!

One the backstroke, you left out the obvious one that some portion of the swimmer must be above the surface of the water (normally they keep the toe out to satisfy on a textbook finish)

I have to admit most of these moves were what I did when I started swimming (maybe until now) not because I wanted to win, but because i was struggling with the proper technique to swim

a person who was timing at a meet told me that if I talk to another swimmer which is about to swim and is on the block that could get me dq'ed, but luckily that was only a warning

Of you keep your hand out on a backstroke turn with having it constantly moving down to your side you get a dq. I know this as it cost me a gold meddle in 200m back when i was 10

This is basically just common sense and knowing how to do the stroke and turns correctly lol. If youre racing you should probably know the majority of this.

27 is wrong you can leave the block before you teammate touches the wall but you can not hit the water before your teammate touches the wall

I believe there's a rule about not swimming butterfly, backstroke or breaststroke on the freestyle leg of an individual medley, correct?
