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."

  • You mentioned no shoulder problems. Do you get any forearm fatigue? My left one gets tired and tight...no problems with the right one though No, although as Karen mentions... Chris--are your elbow pains from your free or your backstroke? Just curious. I think they originate from weights. Swimming can aggravate it. It is not stroke specific, I feel it most at the catch when I use my forearms.
