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.

What I just read it will have a higher turn over rate and a short pull.
I think his focus on shorter events proves what I have known all along-everyone would rather be a sprinter if they could.:bolt:
Well, he has nothing to lose by attempting to be a sprinter. He already has the American Record in the 100 LCM free. Of course, the mainstream sports press will call him a failure if you doesn't win the World Title in the 50 and 100 at Rome. But, if he can get in the Top 5 of the 50 and 100 free, I think that it would be pretty amazing.
It's windmill. New AP article here.
I have never really understood the term "windmill" Are the arms straight? Bent? Always opposite of each other? Is that for the whole time, regardless of speed or just when racing?
