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.

We should note that this clip is mislabeled. That's actually Larsen Jensen, not Grant Hackett.
That's right Kirk...it is Larsen shown during the 1500 (in the clip referenced to FQ style).
The ones that George & I posted of Grant however, is indeed him.
