Re-learning to swim

No, efficiency is important for all swimmers. That's how you make your your swimming easier and more fun. Otherwise you can feel like your fighting against the water. What was considered state of the art back then may no longer be considered good stroke mechanics for efficiency and/or injury prevention. I'm just a recreational lap swimmer and improving my stroke has made swimming MUCH more enjoyable and I can go much farther & longer now than 6 months ago.
