Any old dogs out there trying new tricks? Any younger generation masters swimmers swimming this way?

"In watching the Olympics, we can't help but notice the impact that "lopers" are having in freestyle. While high-rate freestylers and straight-arm freestylers have been getting the most attention this year for the speeds they've achieved, lopers are certainly making a HUGE impact."

It's a power driven stroke. And probably suits people with strong upper bodies and a good kick.
Many of the teenage boys at our last USA meet were loping. It was very cool to watch. They were fast.
At around 3 minutes into this clip (of infamous the relay), you can see how Lezak's freestyle begins reeling in Bernard.
He just gallops his way to the finish.
