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.

I don't need to listen to biomechanics. I can feel that water.
I would definitely trade my limited knowledge of hydrodynamics for better feel and kinesthetic awareness.
I only comment on physics when it seems to me that people are explaining swimming things using physics that seem to me not to be valid. I find the physics of swimming to be interesting but probably quite difficult to actually usefully apply to actually swimming.
