Have you ever been confused by the rules of swimming? Have you ever watched swimming on TV and wondered what a specific disqualification meant? This guide is an easy to understand explanation of the rules and disqualification codes for all four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. This guide also includes information on the rules for starts and turns. While this guide is based on the Montgomery County Swim League rules, and may differ slightly from certain regional rules, I hope it will still be a wonderful aid to all of you who wish to learn more. Good luck, and Let's Get Swimming!
