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.

Paul you may find that I was talkig about the "S" stroke as almost irrelevant about 3 years ago and several forum members did disagree with me. I had of course, refferd to the "I" pull at that time. The evelution of swim strokes is not going to revert back to the straight arm pull in all distances. It can work for certain swimmers but not all. Body construction will dictate how you should swim. Tall long armed swimmers will always be prone to injury if they use a straight arm pull. But fortunately I have my own idea about swimming strokes and everyone is able to decide what is best for them selves.
No straight arms for me. I do not want to be injured. I will swim it the easy way as I did most of my life.
