Subject: Natalie Coughlin's breaststroke kick
So I'm working at home this morning (why yes, today I am sitting on the couch watching the Olympics out of the corner of my eye, why do you ask?).  I was just watching the women's 200 IM heats and as they showed a brief scan of Natalie Coughlin from underwater during her breaststroke (her weakest stroke), it seemed to me that she had a bit of a dolphin kick going on at the end of each whip kick.  Am I imagining it?  Anybody else see it?

I heard them say something yesterday about the fact that she had a very unorthodox body position in the water and it caused some optical illusions - but I was not watching (I was around the corner) so I don't know if they were referring to that or not.

There's a slight dolphin kick but I think it's in synch with the raising of the head to catch a breath.
