OK...it appears I may be somewhat dated in my thinking regarding the optimal head position for freestyle. I have always used the 'where the water meets the hairline is the correct head position'...of course that's assuming you have a hairline. I have noticed this Phelps kid (man, he's quick) lowers his head in the freestyle.
Can someone shed some light on the correct psoition or is it one of those 'it depends' answer.
WOW!! Thanks for the quick lessons...I have been converted!!

I did not like all of Cecil Colwin's book, or Maglishco's last book. At least Cecil is adaptive and always learning.
Is there a book you do recommend? I thought that Maglischo was very thorough and, although he gives his opinions, presents opposing views (just to give one example, check out his discussion of grab vs. track starts). He also cites relevant research. By the way, Mike Bottom wrote that this was his favorite text.
