I missed her recent clinic in Seattle and so decided to get her DVD. She keeps her hands spaced more widely apart through the stroke than most people, is this the style she learned from an Australian coach? She also gets her forearms vertical pretty quickly, by raising her elbows, and applies more force earlier in the stroke than later, so that she uses her lats more than triceps. Also she keeps her feet apart during the flip turn.
I bought it from amazon but it is also in the USMS video library if you wanted to go that route. It's not that much more than the rental fee to just buy it, though.

And the legs apart on turns may stem from same philosophy mentioned above re: wide hands and pool exits.
That is, if you want to jump high, do you do it with feet together or apart? I had a coach that used to profess this, but I still land fairly close together. A good habit or bad, I wonder?
