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.

So an I stroke is really an S stroke?
The S pattern was a more obvious sculling motion.
Today's freestylers may seem to be pulling straight back...but they're still sculling.
The hands are changing angles and pitch to hang onto the initial entry catch...and pull themselves past it.
