Not that I am aware of. There was a sentence left out 2005 and the remaining text goes like this:
”Upon completion of each length, some part of the swimmer must touch the wall. During the turn the shoulders may be turned past the vertical toward the breast, after which a continuous single arm pull or a continuous simultaneous double arm pull may be used to execute the turn. The swimmer must have returned to a position on the back upon leaving the wall.
Note: The swimmer who turns past vertical and, in a continuous motion, grabs the wall before pushing off with the feet while on the back is considered to have executed a “continuous turning action.”
You still need a continuous turning action. Only now there is no emphasis on the kick or arm pull being part of that. I have also looked at the 2006 USA Swimming Rules changes and failed to find anything new regarding the backstroke turns.
