OK I'm working on this. The first time I tried I could barely keep my head above water and it threw my timing and breathing off completely. The second time I stopped kicking mostly and just concentrated on arm movement. The right arm is catching on faster than the left. The best way I can describe the motion is it's like a spider's legs walking on an imaginary surface, an arm plus hand's depth below the water! I beginnning to get it...but will not work on anything else this week.
Dude you are awesome!! Thanks for sharing, I learnt so much. One of the best videos on swiming on youtube.

It sounds difficult and a bit strange. I've never swum in this way. I think you don't swim too fast in this way...
