How did Arizona State's Leon Marchand win the 400 IM (3:34.4!) and then split 41.1 on the back of the 4x100 Medley Relay?!?   

Coach David Marsh with some analysis after watching Leon clean up at Pac-12's:  

"Coaches and young kids need to understand this....it's not a joke when we say that underwater kicking is the 2nd fastest way to swim. It may be the first fastest if you're kicking as fast as him!"   

"The 400 IM, I got that he's staying underwater for about a minute and 40 seconds."  

"He's traveling fast while staying under water."  

"...he is a FLOW guy...has an amazing relationship with the water..."   

"...all I can tell you is that a lot of it is underwater..."
