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 am a firm believer in FQ swimming. Head on over to the archives of TI's website and you will find an article titled picture perfect. In it is a picture of Hoogie, Thorpe, and Phelps racing at the Olympics this year. You will see in the photo that even these swimmers, the fastest in the world, are swimming FQ. Terry Laughlin has a few other points to make about the photo and I have put all of them to good use. Take a peek at the article and you might find something that makes your swimming a bit more efficient.
