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.

It is a myth that the Shkval travels faster than the speed of sound. It exceeds 200 mph, but gets nowhere near 700 mph. The Popular Science article only says that the US Navy has tested a prototype, but it never says that prototype approached the speed of sound. Geochuck, the military.com article you linked to dispels the myth that this weapon approaches the speed of sound! Yes the Shkval is a very slow 253 mph underwater. Irans torpedo maybe a fabriction??? Do you really think this.
The word is there have been US tests at near the 770mph but this could also be a fabrication.
Is it revelant to how fast we swim. NO
I don't shave my body and I can see little bubbles all over my body where hair is growing when I take underwater pictures. Do you think these bubbles are similar to the bubbles made by these newer type torpedos.
