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:)

Emmett Hines' website also has an article that teaches FQ swimming. Keep your lead hand out in front of you until your recovery hand is past your head. I allow my recovery hand to enter the water before starting my other hand on its catch and pull. Check out the H2Ouston swims website. Just look in their archive or article list and you should find some info on front quadrant. The goal is to be long and streamlined and to accomplish this you can't have both arms working symetrically.
