Nice article about Chris in Swimmer Magazine Sept to October issue. His stroke is Unique and it proves there is no stroke that fits all. I especially like his extension and I really like his finish. His shpoulders show me that they come out nicely and do not set up resistence as we see in many other swimmers. Chris if there are any better stills of your arm during the catch to finish mode I for one would like to see the underwater shots. Very good stuff.

  • I'm flattered, George; thank you. It isn't as pretty as Phelps' stroke, that's for sure. Many coaches tried to fix that stroke when I was a wee lad. It isn't a very good stroke for sprinting (though I could do okay on relays when I was younger). I don't have more still photos. Well, I do have some extras from that photo shoot but they technically don't belong to me so I can't really display them. Floswimming was at nationals last spring and captured my 500 free, to see something other than stills (though no underwater shots): www.floswimming.org/.../178358 Just stop viewing it around the 400 mark.:)
