What is the best swimming technique for DYNAMIC APNEA with no fins?

This is the man that I think has the best technique in competitive freediving.

Well, I am not sure if it is the best style for DNF, but the current US national Dynamic No Fins record was made by Wes Lapp with an indeed revolutionary technique - actually not using the feet at all, only slightly paddling with arms along the body.

Thanks, that was fun to watch. In the pool I've found the stroke and kick come naturally with a good streamline off the wall. I'd also be curious to see a breakdown of proper pool technique.

Its an interesting technique for sure, but there's still a way to go to reach the kind of performances that people are getting using the breaststroke-style technique. Everybody is different, but I suspect that good traditional technique trumps the stranger methods for the vast majority. Of course the traditional style isn't very easy to perfect...

Was the video ever put up?
Can you kick off each wall on the turn?
