What do you think of this guy's freestyle? I found it looking for advice on the proper freestyle stroke.
The stroke looks relaxed. I am not sure about the wide angle of his arms on the entry and extension.

I would argue the power output in a 100 is closer to 400-500 watts minimum, perhaps even approaching 1 hp.
Please see the following link. When the PDF file opens, go to page 6. You will see a graph of force vs. velocity for a male freestyle Olympic medalist. At the peak velocity the average propulsive force numbers from this study are in agreement with the propulsive force numbers reported in the previous post.
The propulsive force numbers you reported are quite a bit higher.
