Goswim.com has a drill up that goes over the "loping" freestyle that we're seeing so many sprinters doing. I'd be curious to hear what other posters think about this style. I've spent the last year working on swimming straight and smooth so this seems contrary to that, but one look at that 4x100 free and you can't argue with loping results. Is this something that your average masters swimmer can accomplish? Or is this strictly for the elite?

My teammates make fun of me for loping. I think they will have to stop now.
