Well, I know some of you are big fans of Ti appoach. I would like to read more on it. The library will not vcover the books that deal with backstroke, or breaststroke or butterfly, so I read some articles from time to time on it. Matt S use it for a summer team for kids and uses it himself and others might use some of it.

Doesn't it stand to reason that if one subscribes to the TI notion that in freestyle the head should always be in a relaxed position, pivoting with the body but never lifted, that it also should not be craned (lifted) forward?
If you are not looking more or less straight down, your head has to be lifted in order to look forward. This places a strain on the neck and shoulder muscles. It would be like walking down the street with your eyes permanently focused on the second story windows.
