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 surelly is a messy subject. Lindsay are you being too practical? I think if we were to exagerrate the "S" it would change the results???
Actually, I'm not sure I'm being practical at all!
It would have been interesting to have observed the effect on a high-glide breaststroke (200m style) or a catchup freestyle versus a more continuous propulsion style.
