I've been watching a lot of videos recently. It seems that the only people who ever look to the bottom of the pool and don't raise their head when they are swimming free are a few swimmers from the US. Now here in the states, it is god's word that you must look to the bottom of the pool & role into the breath. In a video of Shoeman, he roles so little that frequently his hands & hips hit. Thorpe looks forward & Hackett moves his head very much when he breahtes.
Why do we in the US think that it is so important to role from our hips & breath with out lifting our heads?

I have been workong really hard on looking down & rotating through my hips. Now I have a moderate muscle strain in my lower neck. I even tried counting my hip rotation instead of hand entry like was mentioned in TI's electronic newletter.
Any suggestions.
