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."

I think what Rob is saying, is that there's a split second of everything being under the water line.
Head, shoulders and torso disappear from the surface.
This TI clip shows both the TI Coach and Phelps experience total submersion during the mid stroke cycle.
(Phelps however uses a slight lope, even when he's doing a relaxed 2 beat kick.)
