Two-time winner Katie Ledecky (Stone Ridge School, Md.) and Andrew<\/p>\n Seliskar (Thomas Jefferson HS for Science and Technology, Va.) both represent the Nation\u2019s Capital Swim Club, though they train<\/p>\n at different facilities under different coaches.

The hull speed formula shows that a longer hull length has a higher hull speed.<\/p>\n However, the formula predicts a hull speed that is considerably slower than current swimming velocity. This month\u2019s article explores<\/p>\n the science related to the hull speed misconception.<\/p>\n 039 TECHNIQUE: FREESTYLE\u2014 FINISH YOUR STROKE<\/p>\n 041 Q&A WITH COACH CHRIS DAVIS<\/p>\n by Michael J.
