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.
Not everyone rotates so much, including some extremely fast backstrokers. There is a trade-off between rotation (ie DPS) and turnover. My coach likes to say I have a 200-back kind of stroke, even when I sprint.
Putting Chris and I in lanes next to each other in a 100 back would show you the extreme range of stroke rate in backstroke.
