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'd be interested in your article. My daughter (12) swims breaststroke.
What I like about Maglischo (Swimming Fastest) are the sections on training principles; I've not spent that much time on his stroke technique chapters. It's also a great general reference (in my opinion) that covers topics like shaving, overtraining, etc.
