Total Immersion - Does it work?

Any competitive sprinters out there try Total Immersion? Curious about results for sprinters vs typical long distance target.:worms:

  • I like TI. For sprinting, it's not a total package (strength training, kick power...), but the ideas about posture, drag reduction, and grip are solid. I like to use a TI-esque freestyle drill progression when teaching. The ideas about posture, drag reduction and grip are all valid. But they are more generally related to swimming, not specifically to sprinting. I'm not using a two beat kick or catch up stroke or zipper drills for sprinting. If you have poor technique, you have to go back to basics. No argument there.
