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.

Cinc,
I am a *** stroker too from a youth swim team background. My freestyle stroke was always akward, and I wanted to revamp it as I started swimming again. TI has really helped my stroke in a ton of ways.
Gaerth,
You said: "If you don't have the range of motion of an "Elite swimmer" then you should not try to force your limbs into the same technique of the elite swimmer."
I have to disagree with you here. I had reconstructive shoulder surgery a few years back and my ROM was limited when I first started TI drills. I think if you are patient and don'tmove through the drills to quickly and don't over do it, you will be fine. I had a bit of trouble at first and just backed off a bit until I developed more flexibility and strength in the shoulder girdle.
