    I would be interested in the history of the flip turn. I see videos in the 1950s showing some using it, others not. Wikipedia credits Al Vande Weghe in the 30s. I can’t find any footage of him demonstrating the new technique and who were the first adopt it. This is probably as important as the Fosbury flop is to the high jump.

      @@blackjackreward4456 I'm not sure you have understood what this video is all about. It wasn't the swimmers themselves who discovered these refinements. The Japanese took a scientific approach to analyzing stroke mechanics and then coached what they had learned. Talent doesn't develop in a vacuum, and no one reaches an elite level in the sport, capable of setting world records and winning Olympic medals, without considerable support and resources.
