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?

It is Janet Reno ugly. There is just no beauty to it.
Notice please (for Fort too) that I did not say WRONG.
Dara Torres is very fast, and her stroke is beautiful.
Guess it must be personal preference then. While I agree that Janet Reno is ugly, I find his stroke to be be fluid and beautiful to watch. I find Torres to have a beautiful stroke too.
I think it must be seeing each person's stroke independent of anyone else's.
