I tried to swim with eyes looking forward, the Thorpe way, somehow I felt that my strokes got more powerful.I kind of like it, maybe that's why Thorpe chose to swim this way.

@yuxc Who says anyone with any physicue should be able to perform the best technique? I think having naturally strong leg kicks is something you need for a good technique...

Gracias a la posición de la cabeza... el movimiento de los brazos es mas relajado y uno se agota menos...!!!

When I look forward, my legs drain all my energy; I generally lose about 5 seconds on 100m (SC) from doing this. Always happens when the pool is packed and gotta keep sighting. Before I decompose into a rant about fast/slow lanes, let me just say that trying to copy pros has actually detracted from my stroke, because they have adapted a distinct style and mastered it, whereas intermediate amateurs may benefit more from improving a more conventional stroke. (+grain of salt, I'm not that good).

@catnai2008 I feel like looking ahead would give the illusion that you were swimming slower, because when you look down the bottom of the pool moves faster beneath you.

his stroke is often regarded as the best ever. but if you observe closely his eyes looks forward, not down. if any other swimmer swims his style looking forward, they would swim really slow due to hip sinking down. Thorpe is able to compensate for this because he has unusually strong kick. Having a strong kick is not something that everyone should have or could have. But otherwise, Thorpe's timing and rhythm is far superior than any other swimmer. Only thing is that his head sits too high.

@yuxc I have noticed he looks up and tried doing the same last year. It definitely felt as if I was going faster but then again, it could just be an illusion created by looking straight at the wall :) Thanks for the comment!
