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.

    Very cool George, the day when this stuff becomes useful for swimming analysis may not be that far away! The ability to put markers in the water to make the flow more visible is especially interesting and could produce interesting visualizations even just using rigid models of swimmers or their body parts. Check this one out: www.youtube.com/watch So non-rigid objects are also possible. I wonder if how expensive and hard to learn the software is. This video is also kind of cool: www.youtube.com/watch The future is going to be so cool...
