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."

    In ocean water swims I lope, more pronounced if there are swells. It helps me with rhythm and spotting. It wasn't taught to me, it just feels better. Once I got over the fact that I changed my stroke to meet the conditions I had much more fun. I kind of like my lope now.
