This style of freestyle does not work for long distance. It works for 50 and 100 sprints as long as you have the endurance to keep it up.

i suposse you are refering to the straight arm recovery, i thinked the same too but it has and is used not only on sprint but in medium distances (check out Janet Evans) and even loooong distances (open water swimming)

This style doesn´t work at all. But luckily Nystrand changed technique to the better. But i agree if u mean the straight arm recovery.
