I remember an article in Tennis magazine where they analyzed John McEnroe's serve. (Yes, that was a long time ago. :oldman: ) They pointed out that most young players were emulating his unusual pre-serve motions (which was irrelevant to his service motion) and failing to copy that parts of his serve which made it effective.
That is one part that really stuck out in the intro chapter for the TI book. There are a lot of fast pro swimmers who have their own quirks which work for them, but may contradict each other. The question becomes, what do the elite swimmers share with each other, which is absent from the group of (umm...) less-elite swimmers.
