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:)

OK, I didn't think about that, but it does make sense. Continuous application of pulling force is another consideration, though.
Dima, you might be taking the idea a little far. Yes, if you wait to pull until your recovering arm starts to enter the water that's too long. But you should wait until the recovering arm is around your head.
It's pretty obvious "catchup" drill is a good way to help with this, but understand that, like many drills, it is meant to exaggerate a concept.
