The Fastest Age

Originally posted by Ion Beza The italics are mine, to emphasize that in USMS, 'technique' is a big cliche to suit people who don't want to train. Are you suggesting that Good Technique can hppen without training? What I gather so far is that training good technique is actually much more demanding than just doing a bad technique no flipturn swims over and opver again very fast. Doing a few laps with emphasis on really good technique will challenge your cardio much more than 1000 mindless bad technique laps. Reading your post I get the impression that perhaps you don't have a full understanding of what the emphasis on good technique really means. There's no such thing as good technique without hard training. But there is plenty of hard training utilizing bad technique.
