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 agree. I think that's true for all of these swimmers.
Another point--the TI page refers to the "patient lead arm," which is misleading and seems to suggest that there should be a hesitation or pause in the stroke. The lead arm is actually beginning the downsweep into the catch position, at which point the pull begins. This is well described in Swimming Fastest and, once again, does not represent a catch up stroke.
