Uhhh... raw power. I love the way the right hand searches and then curves into a huge catch.

In the first frame, you see some ripples caused by the push of the water with his left arm (the one that is under-emphasized). In the second frame, it settles. The third frame shows the distance of the splash caused by Lezak's over-emphasized right arm entry. And the last frame is the proof. A definite galloper stroke.

Holy crap, that's a lot of distance in one stroke!

I love the way you see the rippling of the water first then the shadow of his body before you see him coming into his stroke along with the dorplets of water from the first arm recovery. What a cool clip.

The coming storm
First only scarely observable ripples on the surface in the bain
Next the shadow like incoming Spielberg's Jaws
Then first drops announcing the inescapable tropical rain
And the HIT of the pure power: Jason's thunder strokes.
...After only flat calm
and some Frenchmen became speechless.
