Controversial Swim technique?

:confused: Has anyone heard about this guy before? > In the latest article, Dr. Arthur Piltdown relates his experiences at "Stone-like Swimming". Working extensively with collegiate swimmers, Piltdown's training techniques have yielded a strong foundation of results. "Speed is the key. With enough maintained velocity," Piltdown espouses, "These swimmers have been able to effectively skip across the surface of the water like a stone." Piltdown, currently head coach for Leavenworth University's fledgling men's swim team, developed his short axis training regimen while coaching abroad at the Moratuwa Educational and Research Institute Aquatics Center in Sri Lanka. Piltdown, initially brought on as assistant technique coach, quietly championed the benefits of a unique style of off-stroke (i.e., breaststroke, butterfly) drilling as cross-training for members of the Sri Lankan National Cricket team. His methods catapulted the team from last place to capture the title at the 1997 Sharjah Cup Tri-Nation Tournament. While controversial, Piltdown's methods were the highlight of this past weekend's Men's NCAA Championships held at Athens, Georgia. Two of his swimmers, Hanson Stewart and Brad Small, Jr., showcased the new technique, setting new world marks of, respectively, :24.25 for the 50 yard breaststroke and 3:28:05 in the dreaded 400 yard butterfly.
