I had an article published in the last American Swimmers Magazine. The front cover had a cool picture of the athletes who will represent us at the upcoming Olympics. I hope it doesn't offend anyone. I'd like to thank many of you for your support. I also don't mind hearing from the critics. Coach T.

A couple comments:
1. Markus Rogan is from Austria.
2. I'm not really sure what you're getting at in the paragraph that starts out "I believe that lift forces should be looked at as a propulsive synergy..." Care to expand on this?
3. Have you tried the Forearm Fulcrum by Finis? I got their catalog a couple weeks ago and it looks like an interesting product to help in EVF training.

4. You mention doing head-up freestyle drills. Why do you think this promotes EVF? Is it just because it's easier to see what your forearms are doing, or is there something about this body position that encourages EVF?
Thanks for the link to your article, Tom. I think it should spur some good discussion here.
