Any old dogs out there trying new tricks? Any younger generation masters swimmers swimming this way? www.goswim.tv/.../freestyle---loper-drill.html "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."

  • I have a feeling loping could be a hard thing to teach and hard to learn. it might be something swimmers settle into after years of training. It takes s strong kick & core to lope, but when it falls apart (race fatigue, bad splitting) things get ugly and worse than swimmer's with a balanced free. A if I lope when I swim free Does that give me an Ande-lope?
