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 was at a meet yesterday and took note of how many 20 year olds were using the loping style during the 100 free.
Breathing every stroke with rhythmic gallop. The two seem to go hand in hand. It was impressive.
It was surprising how breathing every stroke (during a sprint) had little interference with the times. They were fast.
Maybe staying well oxygenated is a benefit to using this technique?
