There is NO substitute for having efficient stroke mechanics.  The longer a person swims incorrectly, the more difficult it becomes to change their habits.  Swimming correctly means swimming smoothly and efficiently.  Essentially we attempt to the waters resistance and maximize the swimmers propulsive forces.  Training the energy system is of secondary importance to learning efficient technique.  Thus swimmers will be allocated into training groups, in according to their ability levels.
