As quoted in the AP article: "You'll all have to see. I'm not saying anything until we unveil it," Phelps said with a grin when asked how he's tweaked the stroke. "It's a significant change. You'll be able to tell exactly what I did as soon as I take my first stroke." He's on tap to swim the 100- and 200-meter free and the 100 butterfly at the Charlotte UltraSwim in NC. Should be interesting to see.

    Tom I have never commented on the lopeing style wrongly called looping which means continous. When I make comments some get rilled up and defend their beliefs even when they are wrong. We had a hockey player in Canada who seemed to lope when he played. Everytime I saw him skate his lopeing style I would laugh but even lopeing he did get it done. On ice he looked like a horse cantering. I would sooner see him gallop. Maybe the loper type swimmers should call it a canter and high elbow fast swimming should be called a gallop.
