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 was at a Masters clinic yesterday at the University of Washington. One of the coaches (Thomas Hannan) said that the S-shaped stroke still occurs when you look at your hand position relative to your torso, when you take body rotation into account, which is similar to the quote that Kirk referenced.
