: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.

I seem to be having some problems with my latest invention for increasing my foot size to allow my dolphin kick to be more productive. I'm sure you have all noticed the tiny wedge-shaped clear plastic toe-enhancers (patent applied for) that I have been utilizing in recent races. They really work great ! It is like having mini-fins on. The problem: I have been using super-glue to hold them in place and it is a real hassle to apply and then take off. I tried leaving them in place between meets, but my shoes are pinching me terribly. Do you think clear plastic-wrap wedges would work better? Or is there a glue that melts away after about one minute in water? Any advice would be welcomed. No un-serious responses, pleeze.........................;)
