On the Cover

For deeades, swimming coaches have been attempting to apply the laws of physics to faster swimming. But in that time, few coaches have actually put labels on what these physics mean to swimmers. Today that pursuit continues as Swimming Technique speaks with the inventor of “Zoomers,” Marry Hull. Htdl discussed his use of the fins with the Stanford swim team and with his Masters swimming and the discoveries he made. (See article on page 25).
