I've been swimming for 2 years, and have been making massive strides. But its its crazy to know that I could not even get close to keeping up with the thorpedo for 25m of a 400m freestyle.

The best AQUAMAN on the planet! I love Ian and I'm so happy he'll be competing in London 2012. ...And I'm from Maryland; sorry Phelps, you just don't have IT. LOL

BEATIFUL... EXCELLENT...

Yeah it's a shame the animation is nothing like Thorpe's stroke.

More or less they have described the freestyle(crawl) stroke.Not much of Ian was there.Those are all basics of freestyle swimming,nothing more.Nice educative video but nothing more than that.

@jeffvlarson Hahaha, your so right man, check out the left hand entry...looks like a fist in the cgi
For future videos about swimming: do NOT use the crappy computer generated swimmer body employed here. Instead use the actual video of the swimmer and lay any graphics or effects in a layer over the source footage. Take a look again at how INCREDIBLY inaccurate the CGI swimmer's motion is compared to Thorpe's actual stroke (specifically the difference in the kick). The CGI swimmer only confuses people about how to swim, especially when you have actual world-class swimming talent on camera.
