> Two swimming strokes -- one that pulls through the water like a boat paddle and another that whirls to the side like a propeller -- are commonly used by athletes training for the Olympic Games. But elite swimmers and their coaches have long argued over which arm motion is more likely to propel an aquatic star toward a medal.

I like "pin wheel" I have invented a duck foot motor,and the navy
should get in touch with me right away. It would make attack subs
undetectable(no motor sound) no propeller swirling vibrations.
