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."

From checking the videos the loping pattern is 1(pull), 2(pull), 1(glide)... ..1(pull), 2(pull), 1 (glide)... and so forth.
The question is "which arm, left or right, goes first in the sequence 1(pull), 2(pull), 1(glide) ?".
Phelps lopes: right (pull), left (pull), right (glide).
Is he left handed ?
Should the stronger arm go first, or second ?
What about other known lopers ?
