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."

Just a quick observation bought up in the YMCA Nationals thread about Rowdy Gaines' 100 free record swim.
He appears to have a very prominent lope in his stroke. (1 minute seven seconds into the clip)
And as was mentioned...it often occurs while breathing predominantly to one side.
Alternate breathing swimmers seem to smooth out by comparison.
