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.

Jerrycat,
I've developed shoulder pain with the TI stuff -- there is so much to keep in mind, primarily when I'm thinking "reach long yet look at the bottom of the pool". In my case at this stage of training, such a focus seems to cause an exaggerated twist to breathe on one side and excessive cross-over. My remedy swim thoughts are "don't cross over" and "don't twist the head so much". I now have a couple ways of doing freestyle -- what I think of as the TI way and the non-TI way (looking forward and observing hand entry) hopefully something more efficient and comfortable will evolve.
