I'm afraid I have a confession to make. This morning, after the main set, I swam an easy 200 warmdown (as I usually do). I was concentrating on perfect form (again as I usually do during warmdown)--long strokes, good rotation, balanced position in the water. Only later did I realize I was guilty of...TI-like swimming. There, it's out. I feel better now.

Does this mean that you feel like a born again swimmer? The other day I was listening to some music that I hadn't heard since the early 1970's. It was album called "Tea for the Tillerman" by Cat Stevens. It was quite popular in its day and he was quite popular until he changed his name and went political.
There is a song on there called Longer Boats. Its kind of like a chant: "Longer Boats are coming to win us, there coming to win us, there coming to win us, hold on to the shore or they'll be taking the key from the door".
It reminded me of TI, because I thought of fish, hulls, and anchors that TI demonstrates to explain the slippery swimmer. You know Longer Boats are Faster and Longer Bodies are too. Slow drilling leads to fast swimming. Technique over conditioning as your main souce of improvement.
