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.

    I enjoy the give and take, thanks! An important note was made that a SDK is only as effective as the swimmers. I use the Hillmen Chart to objectively evaluate breakouts and it's an awesome tool to show a swimmer when they should get up and get going. Dara Torres gets up quicker and catches up to those ahead of her. Baseline training is vital. Coach T.
