I just read about the S-pull pattern for freestyle, that is when you pul underwater in an S motion -outward then inward.I never even heard about it.I think I do the straight pull.Out of curiousty - is practiced a lot, do the pro swimmers use the S-pull pattern.And overall, guys, what do you know about it?
Enlighten me, please.

Have you ever watched somebody swim using TI techniques? The S-pull works in unison with your core body rotating on each stroke. I swim faster with fewer strokes and maintain a much more relaxed feeling throughout my workout. I originally picked up the four strokes DVD to learn butterfly but I decided to concentrate on freestyle to build up my stamina. totalimmersion.net is worth investigating.
EDIT: BTW, the S pull is to create a longer underwater stroke for each hand. The longer each pull the greater distance you will cover with each stroke.
