Just wondering. How many of y'all are using the front quadrant swimming technique? I have been using the book and DVD-Total Immersion and trying to adjust my stroke. When I do the stroke correctly it is so much easier-effortless. I feel like I am able to reduce the drag I create when swimming the way I was taught to swim years ago. I'm interested in anyone's experience with FQS. Thanks:)

I do front quadrant freestyle. I really like it. I used to not, but then I read "Fitness Swimming" by Emmett Hines, tried it, and haven't been back to my old way since. Every once in a while I'll mess up a stroke and it will not be FQ but I can feel a difference in how effective the stroke is and how much effort it takes to me execute it. Using FQ, I feel more slippery in the water, like I can get a better stretch and glide. I also noticed that my times have decreased. Once you learn, it is definatly worth it to practice it.
