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 gave this argument in a different thread: when playing water polo, you can throw the ball farther/harder when you include the core muscles, than if you just use your arm. And you are not in contact with the ground.
Or another argument is rope climbing. Theoretically, you could climb with just your arms. (I never could. ;) ) I read that the key to climbing quickly is to get a kind of ab-crunching movement (side-to-side), so more of the heavy lifting is done from the core rather than just the arms.
