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?

Today in practice, I tried switching to straight-arm free on the last 25's of a 200 free and a 200 IM. It didn't feel weird or anything; there's definite potential here. This was during warmup so the next step will be to try this in a main set.
