I have been studying videos of swimmers and find what was once called the "S" stroke has almost disappeard.
I have noticed that flyers use it. But crawl swimmers have modified it so much that it is almost gone.
Has it been replaced completely or was it an optical illusion? Did underwater film show us it did not exist.

remember the good ol' key hole part of the freestyle pull--the underwater pull portion of freestyle that they use to teach. Last year was the first year that someone mentioned to me that that was an expired practice. Now apparently it is believed that a straight pull underwater is more effective.
