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.
Now this is new you can use. When you're injured and you can alter your stroke where the pain goes away so you can train, it's an awesome thing. When I injured my rotator-cuff, I stopped doing bench press and pushups. I replaced those exercises with flys and modified wall pushups and was pleased with the training results.
I can't do any kind of presses either - my left shoulder lets me know pretty quickly that I need to stop. So instead I do chest flys and lat pulldowns. Those are the only two weight exercises that I do!
