Read the comments in the swimswam article too. Gold Medal Mel (Mel Stewart) and Gary Hall Sr both chimed in, I think they might know what they are talking about..
The author makes a bunch of assertions, but nothing to back those up. In the meantime, elite level swimmers swim faster with a kick than they can pull with a buoy all the time. Not everyone, but certainly a huge percentage.
Funny, I keep replying to your comments :)
You are correct. The author may be correct, but he didn't do anything to prove his assertions, which is what Stewart and Hall more or less said. His reply to them was just as unsubstantiated as the claims in his article.
