What are the rules for 100 meter backstroke?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The same as any other backstroke event:

1. Finish with some part of your body above water;

2. Surface before 2/3 of the pool;

3. Take no more than one stroke on your front for a turn and none for a finish;

4. Do not break the surface of the water in someone Else's lane;

5. Do not push off the bottom of the pool;

6. Touch, and leave, the wall on your back, always;

7. Do not interfere with someone else;

8. Do not pull on the lane lines;

9. Do not wear more than one swimsuit at a time (This goes for all swimming events - they can disqualify you if you do)

10. Anything else I've forgotten (swimming is like my second nature, so I tend to forget minute details)

What is an aquatic feline?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I dint find anything about aquatic felines in a Google search. I also could not find anything in the 6 books I own at a quick glance. I would assume it would be a feline that hunts in an aquatic environment since all cats can swim.

So I would say fisher cats(Prionailurus viverrinus) ,

flat-headed cats(Prionailurus planiceps),

Geoffroy's cats(Leopardus geoffroyi),

Tigers living in mangrove forests

old proverb says, "Nerver was a cat drowned that could see the shore"

What is your 100 breaststroke time?

User Avatar

Asked by Joseph5280

It depends on your age but:

-For a ten-under a good start is 1:50

-For an 11-12 a good start is 1:30

-For a 13-14 and 15-18 girl a good start is 1:20

-For a 15-18 boy a good start is 1:15 -To reach high school state finals in most states, a time of less than 1:02 or less is required.

-For consideration as a High School All American, one probably has to break a minute.

What is scy in swimming parlance?

SCY means "short course yards" in swimming terms. Thatmeans that the pool is 25 yards long, compared to 50 meters long (LCM) or 50 yards long (LCY). Hope that helps!

I think you meant DD points. Those are for diving. They stand for Degree of Difficulty.

I really don't think it is possible. It may be possible, but I have never experienced it and it seems VERY unlikely.

Asked by Wiki User

an average time on my swim team is

a 29.12

___________________________

Depends if its your first year or not.

I'm 12 too, and its my first year.

My 50m free time is 37.35 (I know it sucks)

But I'm a distance swimmer, so my 100m free time is 1:24.13 (Which is good)

So if its your first year expect to be around 39-32

Is the front crawl in swimming a complex or simple skill?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Front crawl, I think that you mean freestyle. It is the basic skill all swimmers should have mastered. But all of swimming is complex to some degree. Enough strength, diving, form.

How do you judge a swimmer who elects to swim the butterfly or any other stroke during a freestyle event?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You do not judge it as a butterfly(or what ever stroke they are swimming). You judge it by making sure they do not PUSH off the bottom(ok to stand), pulling on the lane line, or any other basics. No DQ's should be based on stroke technique or stroke swam.
