I've never seen (underwater video) a catch-up stroke used in freestyle in any meet. I've seen more of a mirror stroke pattern than catch-up. I've been told that during the 800 meter free, Ian Thorpe used a modified catch up but when I look at frame by frame I don't see it. I'm confused when I look at the webstie below that tells me that the catch-up stroke is the way freestyle should be done. Tell me what you think. Coach T.

This may or may not be an underwater video of the catch up stroke??? It sure looks close to a catch up stroke but we can throw around any name you wish. It could be labled wrong but who am I to say. www.youtube.com/watch
