From "About.com": Swimming Research Center in Amsterdam

This site has a blog , propulsion theory formulas, abstracts with math formulas; (yawn), and lots of training information with graphics and charts. Best of all is a video of Inge de Bruijn: [Link]

I got the link from About.com. You can have them send you swim updates if you want, but for now Here is their synopsis:
