Transcript: "I think Chad's technique is first off really good underwater and I've had a swimmer that trained with him and when he is on a roll, he is extremely tough. He has a very high ability to withstand kind of the pain of training and and I also think he's he's a courageous racer. He's very aggressive, not afraid to go. Go out and die and do it again, and again and again. And he's a, he's a risk-taker in a good way."

Chad le Clos is very explosive and has crisp catch and quick kicks. He also has a unique technique for approaching the wall which helps him with his balance. His underwater ability also contributes to his success.

Chad has great underwater technique and a good feel for the water, but he can be a bit quirky with his freestyle technique sometimes. He tends to have a bent-elbow recovery into the turns and is a bit high on his breath. However, he has an impressive turning freestyle stroke.

Chad has an incredible natural aquatic intelligence that allows him to copy other swimmers movements, which gives him an edge with dolphin kick and transferring speed off of walls.
