...most striking difference in the Japanese style was the complete isolation of the arm from the rest of the body. In the forward stroke, the shoulder, instead of following the arm, remained almost stationary. This caused the body to lie flat in the water, and the consequent lack of rolling was instrumental in accelerating their speed. The downward pull of the arm through the water was shortened, and the recovery made faster. This resulted in both arms being in the water at the same down; with two sources of power instead of one, speed increased immensely...
