as i said techniques are what matters if you train in just one pool of techniques (a style) then there are techniques from other pools which your not getting a chance to learn. also if youve never been to another pool how do you know that yours is the best (the guy who told you it so has spent his whole life in this pool and hasnt left it either)
on the other hand if you spend your life just jumping from pool to pool, diving in, grabbing anything that looks good then diving out again then its just as bad, your not staying in one pool long enough to see everything
find a balance, the amount of time you personaly need to stay in a pool to see everything there
go into a pool, stay long enough to see all the techniques there, get some good techniques that work for you then leave and go to another pool
if your running out of room for techniques then either stop swimming or forget a few of the least good techniques and continue
