    Seriously. So much splashing. That’ can’t be good for propulsion through water and efficiency. After watching all of those Total Immersion videos, they just look like a better technique.

    Popov arm recovery with high elbow is great, balanced for both right and left arm. Until now, it is very hard for me to achieve this

    Cielo is the best of the current swimmers, because he is the 2009 world champion of 50m 100m free as well the 2008 gold medalist for 50m. However, Popov is the legend, because by far he is the only one who can win gold medals for 50m and 100m at two successive Olympic Games.

    That’s because they swam longer distances – where swimmers with less efficient strokes, but better slow-twitch kick muscles, dominate. Popov had the most efficient technique ever, and produced the one record that remains most impressive for his era today, disregarding Janet evans earlier swims.

    My favorite quote from Popov:

    “The water is your friend. You don’t have to fight with water, just share the same spirit as the water, and it will help you move.” ~Aleksandr Popov

    I’ll use some of this to train for my next tri.
