TI teaches long glide, not front quadrant. And I agree, the TI body balance drills are excellent, and valuable for everyone. But I would agree that there is a loss of velocity with long-glide, and I would also postulate that there is a greater tendency to drop the elbow before the pull, which leads to ineffeciency. Thanks you Coach Evans, excellent breakdown of front quadrant mechanics--I will share this video with my students!

Much appreciated...Thanks.

Thanks and I hope this helps you...

very good advice, many people are not aware of this and attempt to glide too long on one side - I see it all the time

I wish you were my coach many years ago.. I have to revamp the stroke and it is taking forever ( almost one year) so your videos help explain things much clearer for us without coaches and other to support us.

Coach I have one simple question. With each stroke we rotate a little to both sides. My question is: do we start to catch (pull) water when we are on our side or do we start to catch the water when we start to rotate? Thank you!

@bylejakie The "catch" occurs early in my opinion. What some believe is a glide is actually not. You should "catch" the water at the very instant the opposite hand is releasing. It's about timing and contiuuing the momentum.

I first learned about this from "Total Immersion"

@pocketcharts12 I have coached dozens of "Total Immersion" swimmers and the common trend has been a "long glide". I have not read or seen any of their work first hand yet, I think they're best with body balance techniques and not so good at teaching how to maintain the continuum of the stroke. But that said, I do not have any criticisms except that it is very difficult to teach more than one person at a time and there are mobility, stability issues that should be coupled when teaching. Thanks.
