| Freestyle in those days was the trudgen, an alternating overarm stroke with a scissors kick. |
|
| The trudgen stroke is a key link in the evolution of strokes from the breaststroke to the crawl. |
|
| John Trudgen developed the hand-over-hand stroke, then named the trudgen. |
|
| He reduced the number of kicks by using the single trudgen crawl on his breathing side along with two flutter kicks. |
|
| David Trudgen, as Orlando, was the more elaborate of the two, showing some freedom in shaping his lines, especially in the mad scenes, and ornamenting somewhat more floridly. |
