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."

*looks harder*
*squints, looks like Quasimodo*
I still don't see what the heck loping is supposed to be. :confused:
Watch the Phelps world champs video and tap your finger on your desk every time one of his hands enters the water in front. The loping rhythm will be more of a "lub-dub *pause*, lub-dub *pause*" than an even "tick-tick-tick-tick" like a metronome.
I've heard some call this a "gallop" in their stroke if that helps you link the visual to the words.
