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.

    Do you tell swimmers to stop intertia that is vital for speed then glide? Good points about loping though you miss the one advantage and that is when you are gliding with your stroke you are kicking your tail off. It is a trade off. You have to have a strong kick to even consider it.
