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.
Yes the Shkval is a very slow 253 mph underwater. Irans torpedo maybe a fabriction??? Do you really think this.
The Iranians are buying Shkvals from the Russians including the submarines that are deploying them. They have not developed their own supercavitating weapon. The only information I've heard about US supercavitating torpedoes is that we have tested some prototypes, but they are nowhere near as fast as the speed of sound in air, let alone water.
You're right, this has no bearing on our ability to swim. Perhaps if we could expel enough air to envelope our body, we could reduce drag significantly. Hmmmm, sounds like hypoxic work to me!:D
I couldn't resist the urge to reference another controversial topic.
