Well, I guess I need to rethink things.
I peruse triathlon forums from time-to-time & often read posts with things like "swimming is 100% technique", "it's all about form", or "strength isn't needed to swim fast."
So yesterday I read this quote by one of the technique folks: "Swimming is a fine motor activity, not a power sport!" This was in support of a statement that speed will come with improved technique, not working harder at swim sets.
I thought that was BS. I still do, actually. But I'm willing to investigate the possibility that I'm the one who's incorrect.
Thanks for your responses,
Dan
