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:)

This is a worthy goal, but is it really the goal of front-quadrant swimming? I would say the goal of FQS is to make the propulsive part of the pull as continuous as possible. You can be long and streamlined without FQS, but your stroke will have significant "dead spots."
