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.

    Phelps switched back and forth between his regular stroke and the windmill stroke several times during the race. I think he switched back and forth two times. He looked very uncomfortable. Or, maybe he planned to swim like that, I don't know. It did look uncomfortable. A mix of both styles? Great quality video by the way. Bousquet meant business. 48.2 is flying!
