You know that stuff is pretty new to me, so I can't really answer your questions well, as I didn't really retain all of the details yet.
It had something to do with a tradeoff of efficiency vs. the effort invested, if I remember right.
We watched the Richard Quick (Stanford coach) video, that explains a lot more than i can. I believe it's from one of his swim smarter - swim faster series. It's probably best if you get hold of the videos, and secide for yourself if what they're talking about makes sense.
If I remember right, those videos can be rented from the USMS video library.
