i understand that in butterfly if the feet cross and it is a constant feet cross with each stroke its a dq, what if its every now and again (like in the last 50m – the swimmer does two/three times) is this a dq?

Hello Celina, are you referring to legs moving simultaneously during the kick?
If so, Rule SW8.3 states:
All up and down movements of the legs must be simultaneous. The legs or the feet need not be on the same level, but they shall not alternate in relation to each other…
So, whether they are on the same level or not, the legs must ALWAYS be kicking simultaneously. I hope this helps!
