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."

Hope you don't mind Chris if I post your backstroke technique.
It's not all that common to see a lope in backstroke. The bounce seems to generate so much momentum.

I think one would have to be careful to make sure the "bounce" doesn't become too high or too deep during the swim. That would end up being counter productive.
Just how does one "lope" during backstroke? I saw the swim but that seems odd.
