Swimming World has in interesting Morning Swim Show video interview with Bill Boomer:

It's too bad that he didn't give an example of a well known "swimming dog", or come out and just say that training swimmers that way just doesn't work.

He did not say that training swimmers either way was wrong. I think he said that training a "cat" like a he / she was a "dog" was wrong.
It's not that hard to figure out who is who -- the Race Club trains Cats. I have even heard an interview with Mike Bottom referring to this. If you hear about the long yardage people do - think dog (for the most part). Many coaches now do a mix.
