Also, the quote above is wrong, assuming the hands have separated. Once the hands separate, there can be no reversal of the forward motion. The "double pump" after tghe hands have separated is illegal.

Had a double pumper last night. Approaches the plate with hands separarated. Starts arms swinging before hands come together. Hands come together above her head, then separate to begin the full windmill. Perfectly legal.

You'll notice I qualified the comment by "after the hands separate." In your case, all the swinging is done before the hands come together. I agree this is legal, but not what I call a "double pump." Don't know if that is what coachfanmom's DD is doing. That is why I asked her - when did the hands separate?
This is what is illegal:
Hands together.
Hands separate.
Backswing.
Forward swing.
