Gareth,
This will make you laugh.I said to my Masters coach last week,"what are your views on the front-quadrant style for free style?".His reply was,"what's front-quadrant??".We desperately need more coaches like you in British swimming.What are your views on heavy work load training schedules,ie over 60k metres a week as opposed to selective training focussing on technique and style more.
