I guess its not always about swimming "pretty" when you can throw down a 41.8 100 free...Nathan Adrian's in lane 5, check out the slow start, horrible/short break-outs where he hits the wave on the 2nd & 3rd turns (granted, when you're that far ahead you would have to stay under for at least 12yds to miss it)...and explain to me the change to staright-arm/windmill the last 5 strokes?

Not nearly as ugly as Fred Bousqet's swims. I saw him race in Austin last week and thought his freestyle was about as ugly as they come. But of course he whipped the field.
Switching to straight arm is very weird. At that point in my much slower 100 I would be worried about oxygen and not able to attempt a change in stroke!
