: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.

Not to worry, Bert. 3M makes a super-strong air-soluable epoxy that only works when wet. After a few minutes of exposure to the air, the bond is broken and the adhesive dissolves.
It's called "Barnacle Glue". It was developed in the early 70's by the research firm of Unger & Madison, who were aquired by 3M a few years back.
You should be able to get it at any Marine supply shop.

Another (more budget-conscious) solution is to just not cut your toe-nails. Same effect.
