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."

Left arm is straight, right arm is sometimes straight. It depends how fast I'm going: the faster the turnover, the straighter the arms.
Shoulder comes out first, I think.
You have to realize that this is the most I've thought of my stroke, probably ever. I'm a "do what feels right," instinctual type of swimmer, very much a dinosaur now in this high-tech, technique-oriented age. Spending hours on correct hand placement and the like would make me crazy. (I'm not saying this is a good attitude to have, just that it is mine.)
Will you be at Zones or N.C. state meet?
