- ↑ a b Volker Kluge : Summer Olympic Games. Die Chronik II. London 1948 - Tokyo 1964. Sportverlag Berlin, Berlin 1998, ISBN 3-328-00740-7 , p. 462 ff .: Due to the time advantages when turning, the majority of the previous records came from competitions in a 25-meter Pool. On the one under 1956 Olympics conducted FINA -Congress was finally determined that records from May 1, 1957 found only on the long course (50 meters or 55 yards) official recognition. Previously dated (long-course) top marks - primarily achieved in Melbourne's Olympic basin - were subsequently recognized as the first official 50-m-course world record if they were no longer undercut on the short course by the specified date.
- ↑ a b Kluge, Volker: Summer Olympics. The Chronicle IV. Seoul 1988 - Atlanta 1996. Sportverlag Berlin, Berlin 2002, ISBN 3-328-00830-6 , p. 301 u. 632: Backstroke swimming was revolutionized in the mid-1980s when some athletes made as long a dive as possible after starting or turning. In doing so, they achieved a decisive advantage over the competition due to the lower water resistance compared to conventional backstroke swimming, so that the "diving technique" was practiced by more and more athletes. Since a significant part of the competition remained hidden from the spectators - some swimmers, such as Igor Poljanski , David Berkoff or Daichi Suzuki , now almost the entire first lane remained under the water surface - the FINA set a maximum diving limit of 10 meters after the Olympic swimming competitions in 1988 . In January 1991 the world association met during the 1991 World Championships in Perth , where it changed the permitted diving phase to 15 meters. For the back swimmers, however, the most serious consequences turned out to be the approval that when turning, the edge of the pool could now be touched with any part of the body instead of the hand. Then the athletes turned their usual today turning technology on, after they went similar to "crawl flip turn" just before the wall in the prone position, rolled off over his shoulder and just touching the edge of the pool with their feet. The resulting time savings made it possible for the first time to undercut the records from the “diving phase” era.
