1 question on swimming competition

I got 1 question to ask regarding swimming competition. In a e.g 800m freestyle , they are suppose to swim 16 X 50m. Is there any cases in history whereby the first position swimmer completed the 16th length but forgot it is already 16 length and continue to flip ? If yes will he still get the first position or disqualify ?

Once you touch they will count the time. If you see nobody following you and everybody stop just pretend you are just cooling down and swim back to lor! I have never heard of disqualification in such situations. Only for repeated false starts.

If he touches the wall, the stopwatch will clock his time. If he flips without touching the wall, then the clock continues to run.

Anyway, in a real competition it doesn't happen because on the 14th lap the bell rings reminding all competitors there are 2 more to go. But occasionally I've seen swimmers mistake the 14th lap for the final one and they actually stopped, only to be told by their coaches to go on.

Flip sure touch the wall. Because swimmer will kick the wall every flip. If not consider never reach.
Eg. swimmer flip half way no right!

for freestyle
has to touch the wall with any body part, usually the hand.

so if u do the flip and no 2 swimmer touches first with his hand, then ur legs touch, you dont take fist place

If your legs touch the wall after flipping, clock stops. But you'll definitely lose to the #2 swimmer who'd have touched first with his hands without flipping.

Do you know that freestyle means you can swim any style, including front crawl (the preferred choice for most), butterfly, breast stroke or back stroke?
